Fatwa #16622 December 2000Pakistan

Assalamu Alikum !It is known that only Ahlus Sunnah will go to Paradise. In this respect, are Sufis also going to Paradise? Why do Sufis allow music?

Answer

As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

Dear respected brother in Islam

Sufism is an integral part of shariah. It is a way of attaining the
recognition of Allah Ta'ala and gaining His proximity. That can be achieved
only by stictly adhering to the laws of shariah as shown to us by our beloved
prophet Mohammad (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) Any act contrary to shariah,
for example music etc. can never be part of sufism.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
