Q: How do you get rid of your shaitaan?

Q: I took bayah a number of years ago to a sufi Sheikh in the Shadhili tariqa. I have recently been besieged with doubts about the tariqa. For example, I am not comfortable with the hadra which is a big part of the tariqa. I also frequently people saying bayah is haram (I know this is a minority option). Sometimes I think it is best to leave the tariqa to avoid doubtful matters. Then I worry that is is haram to break a bayah as the bayah might be considered a vow which cannot be broken. I then get very stressed because both options cause me doubt. I therefore have two questions; Is it permissible to break the bayah of a tariqa? Is it permissible to change tariqas?

Q: Is taking bayat to a Peer/wali is fardh(necessary). If yes then why?

Q: I know that Sufis practise Tawajjuh on their mureeds so that they become more inclined towards practising on Deen. How do they practise it? Is it also allowed for a "basic" Muslim to do Tawajjuh so that some Muslims become more inclined towards Deen or some kaafirs also become inclined towards Islam? If yes, what is the method of Tawajjuh?

Q: I wanted to seek you ulama's opinion with regards to an unmarried girl doing bai'at with a sheikh to do tazkiya of nafs. She is a girl studying online Aalimah course. Nowadays we can do bai'at by staying in our home itself via live program of any bai'at majlis, so no issue of hijab arises. But I wanted to know is it good to have bai'at with a sheikh for a woman, or she can do azkaar that are reported in ahadith shareef by her own without guidance of a sheikh? Hoping for a convincing advise.

Q: Can an unmarried girl have bay'at with a sheikh without the permission of her father, provided she doesn't keep rabita with the sheikh directly but through some halaal source?

Q: What is the silsila of qadria, chistia etc?

Q: Wazifa to kill nafs?

Q: Could Mufti Saab please advise me on the following:

1.The best way to leave that which does not concern me.

2. How to speak less (when one usually speaks a lot).

3. How to remove vanity and pride.

Q: I'd like to ask about Bid'ah in general. I see that many Naqshandi sheikhs encourage the zikr with the jumping in a circle. Is this halaal or bid'ah?
I'm not a Naqshbandi but this topic came up in a debate with many friends as it is becoming prominent in Johannesburg already. I'm aware of the hadeeth where the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said every bidat is a deviation and every deviation leads to the fire, but a friend told me that Imam Shafi (Rahmatullahi Alayh) distinguished good bida'ah as good and bad bida'ah. I have never read or heard any of our shuyookh refer to that. I would sincerely appreciate your ruling on such a matter.
