Question:
Assalamaulaikum,
Some mureed of Maulana in 1 of the zawiya in our country spreading news that their imam is the khalifa of Maulana Syeikh Hisham. He’s able to meet Maulana spiritually & said he received orders from Maulana. The news spread to many of mureed in our country.
Is there any such a thing ? & how we react on this ?
Please pardon my poor adab.
Salams.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Before proceeding based on rumors, verify this from Mawlana Shaykh Hisham. In general such claims should be viewed with distrust, because it is not appropriate conduct (adab) to make such a claim, even if it is true. At the same time, don’t snub this person or give him your back, but keep good manners with him/her.
