Bayi’ah

Question:

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah
Following a convention in my family I took bayiah in Chishtiah order at the age of around 13. Now I’m 41, my shaikh has died and I have no connection with the order. Is it permissible in my case to take bayiah elsewhere?

Answer:

Walaikum assalam, 

Not only it is permissible, it is recommended. A mureed needs a living shaykh to help guide him in this world.

Allah knows best,

Ali Elsayed
