3a. Beliefs of the Bareilawis (or Barelvis)

3a.
8. They find it very strange when the siwaak is used at the time of prayer.
9. They kiss their fingersduring wudoo', at the timeof the adhaan,
and after prayer.
10. Their imam always recites the verse "Allah sends His Salat
(Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the Prophet (Muhammad )
and also Hisangels too (ask Allah to bless and forgive him)"
[al-Ahzaab 33:56] after prayer, then all the worshippers send
blessings upon the Prophet in unison and loudly.
11. They gather in circles after Jumu'ah prayer, standing, reciting
and reciting poetry in praise ofthe Prophet (blessings andpeace of
Allah be upon him) loudly.
12. After completing the recitation of the Holy Qur'an in Taraweeh
prayerin Ramadan, they make a great deal of food and distribute it in
the forecourt of the mosque, as well as sweets.
13. They build mosques and adorn them elaborately, and they write over
the mihraab "Ya Muhammad (O Muhammad)".
14. They regard themselves as followers ofthe Sunnah and correct
'aqeedah (belief), and think that others are in the wrong.
What is the shar'i ruling on praying behind them?
They replied:
It is not permissible to pray behind one who is like this, and if one
who knows that the belief of the imam is like that praysbehind him,
his prayer is invalid, because most of the things listed are
characteristics of kufr (disbelief) and bid'ah (innovation) that are
contrary to the Tawheed (affirmation of the Oneness of Allah) with
which Allah sent His Messengers and which He revealed in His Books. It
is contrary to the clear meaning of the Qur'an, such as the verses in
which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Verily, you (O Muhammad ) will die and verily, they (too) will die"
[az-Zumar 39:30] and "And the mosques are for Allah (Alone), so invoke
not anyone along with Allah" [al-Jinn 72:18]. The innovations that
they do should be denounced in a gentle way; if they accept it then
praise be to Allah. If they do not accept it, then shun them and pray
in the mosques of Ahl as-Sunnah. We have a good example in the
CloseFriend (Khaleel) of the Most Merciful, as Allah tellsus he said
(interpretation of the meaning): "And I shall turn away from you and
from those whom youinvoke besides Allah. And Ishall call on my Lord;
and Ihope that I shall not be unblest in my invocation to my Lord"
[Maryam 19:48].
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 2/396-398
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: What is
the ruling on praying behind an imam from the Bareilawi sect, who
believes that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
is aliveand present and can see us?
He replied: If they believe that, then they have gone against ijmaa'
(consensus of the ummah), and if theyseek his help, then that is
shirk, so it is not permissible to pray behindthem.
And Allah knows best.
