Procedure for a female taking bay'at

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2018-11-17 07:56

Q: I want to change my life and attain closeness to Allah and true love for Him. However my parents don't want me to take bay'at. They think I'll become "too pious". So can I take bay'at without my parents permission? I won't be corresponding with the Sheikh directly but rather with his wife. And I know that the Sheikh is a Sheikh-e-Kaamil.

A: The correct procedure for you is that you should get your husband to pass on the correspondence to the Sheikh and thereafter receive the reply from him. Your husband should also go through every correspondence between you and the Sheikh.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
