Is he who adheres to the wirds of the Sufis, lives among Muslims, and hears their sermons considered a disbeliever?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Sufi awrad (litanies) and Sufism are not the same. Some of these litanies contain innovations (bid‘ah), disbelief (kufr), and polytheism (); some are talismans, and few of them conform to the authentic remembrances (). Sufism is a recently coined term, and one examines the conditions of its adherents in terms of their conformity to Islamic law. Declaring a Muslim to be a disbeliever is a grave matter. No one is declared a disbeliever except for whom Allah and His Messenger have declared as such. And whoever has firmly established their adherence to Islam with certainty does not depart from it except with certainty.
