Question
I have seen in a book photos of members of the Naqshabandi Sufi Order. Female mureeds are shown without niqaab. The book also quotes a hadith to show that pictures, photographs, paintings, engravings and video DVD are permissible. The wives of shaykhs also feature in the book without niqaab. I am confused. Please comment on this issue.
Answer
While the Naqshabandi as well as all the other Silsilah (Chains) of Tasawwuf are authentic, in our era most of them have become branches of satanism. So although those whose haraam photos you have seen in the book call themselves Naqshabandis, they are in fact Satanists.
