Title
Which Faction of Tabligh to Follow
Question
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

A split has occurred within the Tablighi Jamaat. Could you please provide guidance on which faction it would be most advisable for us to affiliate ourselves with, and the reasoning behind this recommendation?

Answer
الجواب حامدا ومصليا

It is commendable that one goes out in the path of Allah to spread His oneness to those who know and to those who do not know. As for taking a stance on the split within the Tabligh effort, the Darul Iftaa’s stance is to simply advise that one affiliates with those who are pious, God-fearing, selfless, trustworthy, nonconfrontational, learned, and mannered, regardless of their affiliation. The purpose is to commit to the work of the Prophets, not to engage in futile quarrels.

وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ بِحَبْلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا

Hold fast onto the rope of Allah all together and do not be divided. (3:103)

And Allah knows best.
