Bayah

Question:

Asalaam-walaykum,

This is a question and not a dream interpretation. The reason I am stating this is because I had asked a question and was told maybe to write it in a dream interpretation so please if you can pass it to shaykh hisham.

When I was 15 years of age I was forced to give Bayah even though I didn’t want to and was to young but wasn’t given a choice. It has been 6years since then and I want to know if the Bayah counts or not as I want to give Bayah to mawlana shaykh nazim? Please can I get an answer this time. I don’t mean to sound rude if I do forgive me.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

What is done by force, coercion, and not from the heart, in matters of the heart, which baya` is, has no validity, and Allah knows best. Do baya` with Mawlana Shaykh and move upwards and onwards towards the Divine Presence, insha-Allah.
