The letter which The Majlis published about the Tabligh Jamaat contained serious accusations.

Answer

We are not interested in listening to the evidence or reading it. We do not have the inclination to pursue the very serious allegations for which the evidence has been offered to us, but we decline to pursue the matter. It is not our intention to conduct a public trial of the persons implicated.

While the letter which we have published does not mention the name of the person who has been accused of homosexuality, etc., letters published by others do mention the name. You must have seen the letter in which someone living in Madinah has made a public challenge to a senior Tablighi worker for a mubaalahah.

Whilst the Tabligh Jamaat has done tremendous good Deeni work, it has unfortunately veered from the Straight Path and is set on the path of bid'ah and deviation. We shall, Insha-Allah, soon be publishing a detailed appraisal of the Tabligh Jamaat.

Continue your association with the Jamaat, but abstain from their errors, baseless extremism and deviation. The first and greatest disease which has befallen the Jamaat is ghulu' – bigotry, haraam extremism and filthy arrogance which have set the Tabligh Jamaat on the path of deviation. That is why it is currently afflicted with the Athaab of the two mutually hostile factions at each other's throats.
