Scholar Yaqoobi : Forbids any action which results in causing division amongst muslims in the Islamic communities    

Honorable Sheikh Muhammad Yaqoobi

Peace and blessings be upon you,

Some people carry out certain actions in which it causes division amongst Muslims such as disrespecting certain individuals that are held in high esteem by others

What is your stance on such actions?

In His Name The Exalted

Our stance on this subject is very clear and we’ve expressed clearly that it’s not allowed to do such actions or disrespect certain figures which are held in high esteem by others

These actions which cause division amongst Muslims clearly goes against the ways and actions of the infallibles and what they taught their followers.

Allah Himself has forbidden such actions in the Holy Quran such as the verse (Don’t wrangle and argue with ones another or else there will be division amongst you all and will cause weakness in your hearts and in your power {alAnfal verse 46})

So whenever there’s an increase in cooperation between two groups for example, there must be careful observance of unity and refrainment from anything that causes division.

Sheikh Muhammad Yaqoobi
