Q: A man wants to know the ruling on the way that Al-Ahmadiyyah Tariqah (Sufi order) follows to eliminate catastrophes through reading Surah (Qur'anic chapter) Ya-Sin. The translation of his letter states:A group of people follows the Tariqah called Al-Ahmadiyyah Al-Idrisiyyah belonging to the so-called Ahmad ibn Idris. The questioner sent this letter as a response to campaigns leveled against Islam by its enemy and the way they use to overcome these campaigns by reading Surah Ya-Sin forty-one times. The sender supports his letter with two incidents. First: During the reign of the president Sukarno the communist leader called Eudit was arrested and sued because -according to the sender- the members of this Tariqah recited Surah Ya-Sin forty-one times every Thursday consecutively - May Allah guide them.Second: A president of a Muslim country (Part No. 2; Page No. 175) took it upon himself to make scholars of his own country like the scholars of Turkey. According to the sender, this President was deposed from authority because they read Surah Ya-Sin three times at night on three consecutive Thursdays - May Allah guide them. The sender requests the Committee members to perform Salat-ul-Istikharah (Prayer for guidance) before answering his question and take his letter seriously to fully grasp its contents and enable the Muslim organizations to protect Muslims. The sender is ready to send the exact method in which people read Surah Ya-Sin forty-one times, if needed.
