What is the religious ruling regarding Islamic Sufi orders, such as the Khalilīyah order?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Khaliliyya Tariqa is a Sufi order founded by Ibrahim Abu Khalil, an illiterate man to whom his followers attribute miracles and supernatural feats. Its details are unknown, as is the current state of its leader, Sheikh Salih. Therefore, it is not possible to judge whether it conforms to or contradicts Islamic law. As for the ruling on Sufism and Sufi orders in general, there are previous fatwas that can be referred to.
