What is the ruling and nature of the Al-Aydaroosiyah Tariqa prevalent in India? Is it permissible to join it? And what is the reality of its Sufi litanies (awrad) and recitations (ahzab) in general?
The 'Alawiyya' was founded in Hadramawt, Yemen, and from it branched the 'Aidarūsiyya Sufi order,' which spread throughout Southeast Asia. Its founder was Abdullah bin Abi Bakr al-Aidarūs. Al-Aidarūs was known for encouraging the reading of Al-Ghazali's book "Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din" (Revival of Religious Sciences), despite its containing legal transgressions and weak hadiths. This order included glorifying innovators like Ibn 'Arabi, promoting the visitation of innovative and polytheistic graves, innovative Sufi musical sessions (sama'), innovative seclusion (), and innovating specific numbers and forms for remembrances (). A Muslim must avoid these Sufi orders due to the innovations, prohibitions, and acts of polytheism they contain, and adhere to the legitimate prophetic remembrances.
