My Mother-In Law sat for Itikaaf.Ever since,she does and say strange things.She talks to the unseen.She says she is in 'Sulooq'.Pls Advise and what is Sulooq?
Answer
You did not state what strange things your mother say and do. We, therefore, cannot comment on her actions and sayings.
However, Sulook means a path. It is generally used as a term to indicate training in road towards Taqwa and piety. Sulook should not lead one to do anything strange against the Shari?ah.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
