Question:
As-salaam ‘alaykum Sheikh Gibril.
Firstly, may Allah (most high) bless you for your biographies and introduction to the work of Sheikh ‘Abd al-Hadi Kharsa, ‘The Scholars of the Sufis’.
My question is, why did Sheikh ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghouri (may Allah have mercy on him) withdraw his authorization from Sheikh ‘Abd al-Hadi Kharsa (may Allah preserve him)- what was the reason?
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
May Allah bless you also and grant you and us excellence in religion. Part of that excellence is to leave what is of no concern to us and that is what we feel duty-bound to do in this matter.
