Question:
Bismilahi r Rahmani r Raheem.Assalamu Allaykum y Saydee Shaykh Hishaam.Greetings to Mawlana Shaykh Nazeem,May Allah grant MSN a long and healthy life Amin.
Mawlana please advise us what to do.We are in a very difficult situation.My husband is [private] of the mosque where Imam Hassen Wallele is the imam.My husband at that time had no bayh yet when Imam Hassen Wallele was appointed.Shayh [private] had no problem with me working Imam Hassen Wallelle ,now my daughter is getting married we all mureeds of MSN ,my husband went to see Shaykh [private] for the wedding arrangements.Shaykh DA Costa told him him that he cant be present if Imam Wallele is present and the mureeds are talking that the instruction came from Lefke that we are no longer to make dhikr in that mosque. Shukran. The situation is very delicate for us.
Answer:
wa ‘alaykum salam,
It is best to follow the appointed representative of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim in your area. But at the same time keep good relations with everyone, including Imam Hassan Walele. Perhaps you may do the wedding in another place, not a mosque, and later have a walima in the mosque.
