Fatwa #568926 May 2002United Kingdom

by not listening to views of other groups am I being narrow minded and sinful. could you give me advice on the best possible approach to matters like this involving different sects in Islam.

Question

Am I beeing narrow minded? I wanted some advice on different sects in Islam. I personally have great love for the Ulama especially the Deobandi Ulama (like yourself). The thing I am worried about is that when people from different groups like Hizb ut Tahrir come and talk to me with their views on Khilafah I do not listen to them with an open mind. I am too used to the Deobandi "school of thought". As I am aware of the importance on establishing the khilafah but I myself believe that the Jamiatul Ulama are the ones who have most success in these political issues. The thing I wanted to know is that by not listening to views of other groups am I being narrow minded and therefore am I sinful. Please could you give me advice on the best possible approach to matters like this involving different sects in Islam. Jazakallahu Khair. May Allah grant you a place in the highest ranks of Jannah

Answer

Your approach is correct. You are being cautious and not narrow minded.

We also disagree with the views of Hizbut-Tahreer.
