Question:
Salaam,
I have dreams about Islamic personalities including Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), Sahabas specially about Hazrat Abubakar Siddique (RA) and other AuliaAllah’s. One dream I was insisting that I will do bayah direct on the hand of Hazrat Abubakar Siddique (RA) and will pray namaz in congregation only if Hazrat Abubakar Siddique (RA) is Imam, otherwise I will pray namaz alone. Is it possible to do bayah directly on the hand of Hazrat Abubakar Siddique (RA)?
Allah Hafiz
Answer:
a`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem:
wa `alaykum salam,
Your baya’ to a Naqshbandi Shaykh reaches to Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (ra). You may intend your namaz to be with Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (ra) as your imam and Allah may reward you by your intention. And Allah knows best.
