Question:
Assalamu-Alaykum.
I would like to do Bay’a with a Shaykh. My question is how do I know who my Shaykh is meant to be?? I heard that some people do bay’aa with a Shaykh and then they switch to another…And I would like to avoid that happening with me. May Allah grant us the abad with his Awliya.
Kindly advice..
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
For each shaykh you are considering, make istikhara (see the Post “How to do Istikhara“).
