The answer

The Burhaniyya tariqa is a Sufi order founded by Muhammad Uthman Abduh Al-Burhani, and it contains many deviations and misguidances, including:

1. The shaykh of the tariqa claims that the Angel of Death does not seize the soul of anyone who recites a specific litany they possess. 2. The shaykh of the tariqa claims to have resurrected a dead person in the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him). 3. He claims that Ibrahim al-Desouqi asked Allah to increase his size so that he alone could fill Hellfire. 4. Belief in amulets, talismans, and sorcery. 5. It includes satanic litanies and invocations.

A report by Al-Azhar in 1975 concluded that this tariqa reiterates statements that amount to "outright disbelief." However, this does not mean that everyone affiliated with it is a disbeliever, as one might be ignorant or have a misinterpretation, or not hold all those beliefs. The original ruling is that the marriage that took place is valid, and its nullity is not to be decreed.
