Their method of da'wah and the ruling on going out with them
Your Eminence! I would like to learn about the reality of the Tablighi Jama'ah, and do you advise going out with them to other countries or not?
Calling to Allah the Exalted and Glorious is commanded,Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said: [al-Nahl: 125] and traveling in the path of calling to Allah on earth is also a required matter. However, I do not advise our brothers in our country to go outside the country to Pakistan, Bangladesh, or the like; because it has reached me that there are leaders there whose creed is suspect, and a person must avoid what is suspect. As for within the Kingdom, I see nothing but good in them.
It is true that they have ignorance, and that they need students of knowledge to go out with them to guide them and explain to them that Islam is broader than what they have confined it to in the six descriptions they have, and to direct them to the Sunnah in many matters. But I do not emphasize warning against them, nor do I warn against them; because they have a profound impact in guiding people. How many an open sinner became upright through their hands, and how many a disbeliever became a Muslim through their hands. And they are softer in calling to Allah than others; they have softness, they have self-sacrifice, and they have good character. But they have some religious innovations that can be eliminated.
As for the advice to each person individually, the person who has the ability to learn and devote himself to seeking knowledge, we advise him to remain in seeking knowledge and not go out with them; because seeking knowledge is better than going to call to Allah the Exalted and Glorious. But if the person is not a student of knowledge and is not prepared for seeking knowledge, and he wants to go out with them in order to soften his heart and turn to Allah the Exalted and Glorious, there is no blame on him.
