Ask The Imam Question and Answer

501 We Sunnis do not consider the Deobandis as proper Muslims. We do not give reply to their Salaam and do not devote Namaz behind Deobandi Imam etc.

The reason behind this is that the Ulemas who led the foundation to this firka (section) had given some disgusting fatwa's regarding our Nabi Mohammed (S.A.W) and the Deobandis follow those Alims.

Today there are many people who call themselves Aulia Allah though they advice their murids (followers) to do things which are opposite to Shariah. Some way or another these duplicate Aulia Allah are gustakhe Rasool (S.A.W). Now what about the people who follow them, should we answer to the salaams from the murids of these duplicate Aulias?
A Pir (Aulia Allah) is a guide. It is compulsory for them to abide by Shariah. He can not be followed as a guide who himself is misguided. However our aim is to teach people with knowledge of Shariah. A Muslim’s aim is to hate the evil act not the evil doer.

Please note that certain statements within your question are incorrect. It is a duty of all Muslims to give and reply to the Salam of another Muslim. However if you are absolutely sure that the Salam giver is not in the fold of Islam then according to Quran and Hadith Shareef it is forbidden to give that person Salam but if he initiate by saying Salam first then you should reply back with Wa ailaikum (meaning : And upon you.)
