The Ruling on the Sufis and the Ruling on Describing Them as Disbelievers?

Question:
Do the Sufis fall under the category of disbelievers?

Answer:
No, the Sufis are divided into categories. There are Sufis who have some religious innovations, and they are those who associate partners with Allah, worshipping other than Allah, worshipping the people of the graves, and they are of various categories and types.
Q: Those who worship the people of the graves?
A: Those who worship the people of the graves are disbelievers.
Q: Are these people among the disbelievers?
A: They worship al-Badawi, al-Husayn, al-Hasan, Ibn 'Ulayan, and their like, so for this reason they are disbelievers. Or they worship the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or they worship other dead people, or they worship the jinn, seeking refuge in them and turning to them. This is major shirk (associating partners with Allah).
Q: Do these people begin with tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?
A: These people begin with tawhid (the oneness of Allah); they teach tawhid.
