In the U.S.A.

Question

In the U.S.A. where I am resident there is much confusion in the teachings of the sheikhs. How does one know who is a genuine sheikh teaching the true Deen?

Answer

There is no conundrum in ascertaining the truth or deviation of sheikhs, molvis and muftis. The false ones may be distinguished by their deviant and haraam practices. Some of their haraam shenanigans are:

 They are extremely liberal

 They mix with women  They are very lax in the matter of Hijaab (Purdah)

 They give lectures to mixed gatherings of males and females

 They indulge in photography, television and video

 They advertise themselves on evil media such as facebook, etc.

 They are not staunch followers of a specific Math-hab

 They accept western kuffaar dress to be permissible

 They participate in haraam kufr interfaith projects

 They invite females to the Musjid.

When a sheikh indulges in these evils, then stay far, very far from his clutches. His fangs are poisonous for the

Imaan and Akhlaaq.

al two raka‟ts. What is the state of the Taraaweeh?

A. If the Imaam has sat for Tashahhud in the second raka't, then all four will be Taraaweeh. If he had omitted the Qa'dah (Sitting), then two raka'ts will be Taraaweeh and two raka'ts Nafl. He was also supposed to make Sajdah Sahw.
