Question:
Salam,
Dear Gabriel,
Can a Sufi shaykh or murids under any circumstance, mistreat someone, abuse, or do any type of zulm, (even in the unseen realm through shayateen/jinn and sihr), and then attribute these actions to the Best of creation, Sall Allahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa ahli baytihi wa baraka wa salama, by saying it is a test for you from the Prophet, Sall Allahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa salam, and he, Sall Allahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa salam, told us to do this to you, or even punish you for your bad adab and sins?
Please Shaykh, could you give references from (all Sunni schools of) aqida/fiqh/tassawuf.
Wasalam
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
We already answered this question on eShaykh. The answer is a resounding no and whoever does this still has jahiliyya in them.
On a side note it is required to address people with their Muslim name. I am sorry to say that to keep insisting on addressing people by their non-Muslim name is abhorrent.
