seems like someone somewhere is confused, n in turn confusing me

Yes you are correct, it is the noble Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi in that video. The permisability of the hadra is a disputed matter amongst tariqa’s and schools of fiqh, some agree with it, others don’t. Our tariqa (Chishti Sabriyya) do not perform this, however the hadra in shari’a is the subject of ijtihad. Therefore, although I personally do not take part in the hadra (I have had the opportunity), I do not frown on those that do.

Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi is an astonishing scholar whose taqwa and piety cannot be denied or questioned. It is obvious to all those that have studied underneath him or have spent time in his company that these traits are deeply manifested in him. Such a man of widely accepted Ilm and taqwa does not fall into the haram in his ibadah.

Acknowledging that the permisability hadra is subject of ijtihad, “bowing to the ‘Sheikhs’ or the ‘Peers’ and prostrating to the graves is not, it is haram in all schools. They do not fall into the same catagory

Please read this article about the hadra written by Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller wherein he sets out the positon of the scholars on the issue of the hadra. It is a very interesting read and may go some way to ease your mind.

Thank you for your reply brother, just one last question,

so am i right in thinking that hadra (dancing and singing of nasheeds) is permissable throughout ahle sunna wal jama’a and throughout all tariqas – even though some tariqas will not partisipate in it but will not label it as bid’a either? am i right?

in essence, hadra is permissable in ehle sunna wal jama’a and thoughout all tariqas in the ehle sunna wal jama’a, whether you join in or not is decided by the tariqa you follow. if your tariqa does not allow you to join in, hadra is still not classed as a act of misguidence by the leaders/followers of that tariqa??

you may delete these comments off here if you wish, i dont want ppl to see this a argument as such.

???????? ???

Essentailly that it is right i think, I am not an authority but from what i can understand it is a matter of choice within tariqas

Assalamualaykum , MashahAllah
