Question
Please comment on the method of the Tabligh Jamaat. Even before completing the two Sunnatul Muakkadah raka'ts of Maghrib, a Tablighi goes to the front, faces the musallis who are still engaged in Salaat. Then his bayaan starts. Should we leave out Awwaabeen Salaat to listen to the bayaan?
Answer
Unfortunately and to the detriment of unwary and ignorant Muslims, the Tabligh Jamaat has degenerated into a cesspool of ghulu' (haraam extremism). Their bayaan has absolutely no significance in relation to Awwaabeen Salaat. This Salaat is Masnoon. Never should one abandon Awwaabeen Salaat for listening to their bayaan. In fact, they have innovated a greater bid'ah than their disturbance at the time of Awwaabeen. They give bayaans even immediately after the Fardh Salaat of Maghrib, Isha and Zuhr. This is not permissible in view of the separation between the Fardh and the Sunnatul Muakkadah not being permissible.
