Question:
Asalamoalaikum Shaykh,
I had baya with the Attari Qadiri silsila which i had done through the internet, at the time i was not sure what baya really was or what it was about. later i found out what baya really was? i didn’t feel any connection with the Attari silsila but i started to feel a strong connection with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and therefore did baya with shaykh Nazim and have seen a real change in my life. but now, i found out that baya can’t be changed to another shaykh, especially if it is from a Qadiri silsila to another. I love Shaykh Nazim, I do the daily awrads without missing them.
can you please advise me on the ruling of this situation and if i have done anything against sharia and is my baya with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim valid? Please pray for me…
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
Your bayaa with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is valid and strong. Continue with your awrad and keep love and respect for the Qadiri Silsila as well, which is Mawlana’s family lineage as well as one of the other Tariqas in which he is fully authorized.
