Is it ok to go out with Jamaat Tabligh?
Question
Asalaamu alaikum,
I came into the religion many years ago through/at the hands of jamaat attabligh.
Recently some ulama say they have deviated from the siratul mustaqeem such as they do ghuloo (fanatical extremism).
I wanted to go out for 120 days 3 chila with them but i am unsure.
Is it ok to go out with jamaat attabligh?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Respected Brother,
We advise the general masses to continue with the noble work of Da’wah and Tabligh without involving themselves in any conflict. The purpose (maqsad) is to call others to Allaah Ta’aala and enjoin upon good and forbid from evil. Unfortunately, many have forgotten the real purpose and have made the means their purpose. Carry on doing the effort and refer to your local ‘Ulama for further guidance.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
