Question:
Assalaamaleykum,
In 2003 I visited Mawlana Shaykh in Lefke where he unexpectedly gave me ijaza to lead Khatmul Khawajagan. At this time the hadra was not yet being done openly in the dergah. Do I now need separate ijaza to lead the hadra or is it automatic? I ask since many (younger) attendants want to do hadra.
Jazakallah.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
You do not need fresh ijaza.
