Praying in the masjid of the Soofiyyah
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question
: In the area where I live there is a masjid where there is a group who follow the way of the Soofiyyah. Is it permissible to pray in this masjid?

Response: You should not pray with the Soofiyyah in their masjid, and you must beware of their companionship and mixing with them in case you are afflicted with what they have been afflicted with. So perofrm your prayers in a(nother) msajid where they uphold the Sunnah and are steadfast upon it.

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
