What is the ruling of Islamic law concerning one who utters statements that contravene the Sharia, such as: claiming to behold the Preserved Tablet, a female devotee praying with the Companions while intoxicated, designating the Caliphate to be in Morocco in the year 2006, permitting seeking aid from other than God, excommunicating anyone who criticizes him, citing fabricated hadiths as evidence, permitting I’tikaf for forty days without prayer in the mosque, accusing the scholars of the Salaf of hypocrisy and believing in part of the Scripture while disbelieving in part, the absolute obligation of obeying the Wali Murshid (spiritual guide), the saints receiving knowledge directly from God, and defending the extremist Sufis?
The statement that it is permissible to seek help from other than Allah, such as saints, in matters that none but Allah can accomplish, is major disbelief (kufr akbar) that expels one from the fold of Islam. The statement that a drunken slave girl led the Companions in prayer is an outright lie and a mockery of the Companions. The statement that anyone knows or sees what is in the Preserved Tablet is a lie and contrary to the Quran and Sunnah. These falsehoods are among the superstitions of the extremist Sufis, which people of knowledge must denounce, clarify their invalidity and their contradiction with the Quran and Sunnah, and warn against them.
