The prohibition of going out with
the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh
Question: May Allaah treat
you well, Oh noble Shaykh, the questioner
asks: "Is it permissible to go out for
a period of months, or weeks, or days, as
is done by the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh
(Tableeghi Jamaa'ah)? Is this Sunnah
or Bid`ah? And is it
permissible to go out with this Jamaa'ah
(group) if the person is learning
(studying) Sharee'ah
knowledge?
Response: This is not
permissible. This is Bid`ah
(innovation). This Khurooj (going out),
which is for 40 days, or 4 months, or 4
days, or 40 days, or 4 months, this is Bid`ah. And this
group is a Soofee Jamaa'ah, and
it is confirmed that they are a Soofee Jamaa'ah from
the Deobandees (a group of Soofees from
India). They go from land to land in order
to spread Sufism. It is not permissible for
a person of the Sunnah
and a person of Tawheed to go out with
them. Because if he goes out with them, he
is helping them in spreading their Bid`ah, and people
will use him as an argument, and they will
say, "so-and-so goes out with
them." Or they will say, "well,
the people all go out with them." Or
they say, "well, they're allowed
in the country." Therefore, it is
obligatory to reject these people. It is
obligatory that they be rejected and they
should not be given attention (i.e.
listened to). This is so that they will
return to with their Bid`ah
to their own country, and so they do not
spread their Bid`ah
amongst us. Also, it is not permissible to
go out with them to teach them. This is
incorrect. Then along with this, they do
not accept being taught. They do not accept
being taught, because they are people of
deceit and people who have a program. They
have come in order to teach you, they have
not come so that they can learn something
from you. They have come to teach you their
Soofism and their Madhhab . They
have not come to learn from you! If they
wanted to learn then they would sit with
the scholars ('Ulamaa.) in
the masaajid and read
the books (of the Pious Predecessors). This
is from the errors that it is not
permissible to be decieved by. Yes.
