Question:
Are all Sufi orders in error? I ask for a definitive answer.
May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The Sufi orders are innovations, and they are among the religious innovations, and they vary: some are worse than others. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1718b And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1718a So we cannot count the orders, and counting them requires much effort and reviewing many books, but in general they are innovations: the Tijaniyyah, the Barihah, the Khalwatiyyah, the Qadiriyyah, the Naqshbandiyyah, and other orders, but they vary, some being worse than others.
So you should, my brother, avoid them all, and adhere to the way of your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction) and those who followed them in excellence, such as the four Imams and others, adhered to. Adhere to the way of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which is doing what Allah and His Messenger commanded and leaving what Allah and His Messenger forbade. This is the Muhammadan way that our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brought.
And you must ask the scholars known for their uprightness in the religion of Allah and their distance from the Sufi orders. You must ask them about what is difficult for you. The summary of this is that you adhere to what Allah and His Messenger commanded and refrain from what Allah and His Messenger forbade, as clarified by the scholars, as in the two Sahihs, Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim, the four Sunans, and the book al-Muntaqa by Ibn Taymiyyah, Bulugh al-Maram by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, 'Umdat al-Hadith by the Shaykh: 'Abd al-Ghani ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab al-Maqdisi, and other books of hadith. Likewise, such as Zad al-Ma'ad fi Hady Khayr al-'Ibad by the scholar Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him). All of these clarified his (peace and blessings be upon him) path and explained his (peace and blessings be upon him) way. Yes.

Answer:
The Sufi orders are innovations, and they are among the religious innovations, and they vary: some are worse than others. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
من عمل عملًا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who innovates things in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected.
من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو ردSo you should, my brother, avoid them all, and adhere to the way of your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction) and those who followed them in excellence, such as the four Imams and others, adhered to.
