Question

I came to the court of a saint and saw the following signs:

  1. The so-called Pir Sahib is sitting in a room of the walled house. The floor of the room is about 4 feet higher than the normal yard of the house. I saw some devotees standing in the courtyard near the room, spreading their arms at one end of the floor of the room, prostrating with their foreheads on the floor between their hands.
  2. I saw many people coming back from the court of Mr. Pir with folded hands, leaving the room in front (not turning slowly, backwards). Thus, after coming back about 20 yards, he is walking normally on the main road.
  3. After going to the court, he is walking barefoot with his shoes off somewhere on the side of the road.
  4. Men and women sit together in the same courtyard. But women on one side, men on the other. Sometimes there is no screen arrangement. Women dress normally. Nobody wears a burqa. Many do not even have sheets on their bodies.I came to know that there is no congregational prayer here. Maghrib mahfil is held every Friday. Pir Sahib preached. Dua-kalam is recited and thawab is risani.Is it permissible to go to the court of that pir or to pledge allegiance to him? If one thinks that instead of participating in the above matters, one should only listen to the sermons, participate in the supplications and accept all that is in accordance with the Shari'ah, is there any possibility of any loss of one's faith? 5731443566


Answer

According to your narration, all the activities of the said pir are mentioned as illegal and haraam acts which are against the Shari'ah. So it will not be permissible to go to his court or take a pledge of allegiance to him. It is not permissible for him to listen to sermons and participate in du'aa '. On the contrary, as much as there is faith, there is a danger of it being destroyed. Islah is the purpose of the pledge of allegiance to the Pir. No kind of reform can be expected from that pir. Because in the eyes of Shariat, he is not a Haqqani saint. Rather false and perverted. Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi Rah to be a Haqqani Pir. Mentioned ten conditions - the details of which are mentioned in the book 'Kasdussabil'. If all these conditions are met, it is permissible for him to take a pledge. The prostration that is done in the court of the saint you have described, if it is done in his honor, then it will be haraam. And if it is for the purpose of worship, then it will be shirk and kufr. And the fact that he disciplines girls without the veil and raises men and women in his court at the same time is all part of the transgression. 9932671516
