A brother from Pakistan writes:

“I would like to draw your attention to the Fisq committed by Moulana Tariq Jameel yesterday in the Iftar party yesterday,the 6th July 2015 given to him by Imran Khan,the chairman of Pakistan Tahreek e Insaf(PTI) at his residence in Bani Gala in Islamabad.Moulana sat on the dining table with uncovered(bey purdah) wife of Imran Khan and spoke to her looking at her face.I have attached the photos of the party below.This https://stayconnecting.com/moulana-tariq-jameel-family-iftari-with-imran-kan-family-in-bani-gala/ is the link of news.The regretful thing is that still his followers say that there is nothing wrong in that,he went there for Tabligh.They call him ‘Muballigh e Islam’ despite all this.They give excuse that Moulana went there for Tabligh.They are Halalizing many Haraam things by the excuse of Tabligh.The surprising thing is that he advises others in his speeches to lower gaze but he himself without shame is speaking to her looking at her face.Forgive me for being harsh.Please remember me in duas.”

This Tariq Jameel character employed by the Tabligh Jamaat as an advertising agent is a prime example of the type of ulama mentioned in the following Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam):

“There will dawn an age over the people when nothing will remain of Islam but its name; nothing will remain of the Qur’aan but its text; their Musaajid will be adorned structures bereft of hidaayat (Allah’s Guidance). And, the worst of the people under the canopy of the sky will be their ulama. From them (these vile ulama) will emerge fitnah, and the fitnah will rebound on them.”

This miscreant molvi whom the Tabligh Jamaat has most regrettably and totally oblivious of the Shariah, engaged as a flagship for a misconceived programme of promotion of Tabligh Jamaat activities, is among the lesser signs of Qiyaamah predicted by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). He flagrantly promotes fisq and fujoor under guise of ‘tabligh’. The Tabligh Jamaat elders have selected to remain blind to Tariq Jameel’s flagrant acts of fisq and fujoor. Their policy of accursed ‘hikmat’ does not bode well for the future of the Jamaat. By degrees the Tabligh Jamaat will veer into baatil without its elders realizing the gradual sinking of its ship.

It is therefore imperative that the elders of the Tabligh Jamaat sit up, open their eyes and their intelligence to understand the danger to itself and to the Deen which this misguided faasiq/faajir is causing.

The brother’s letter is self-explanatory. There is no need for us to comment in detail on the flagrant, public acts of zina which Tariq Jameel and all the participants in the accursed dinner are guilty of. Anyone who denies the zina of the eyes and zina of the heart committed by these fussaaq and fujjaar will be in negation of Rasulullah’s categorical declaration in this regard. When Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) himself observed strict purdah, who is this miserable character, Tariq Jameel, to refute this by means of his action? A molvi – a so-called Aalim – who flagrantly violates - violates in public – the ahkaam of the Shariah, and believes it to be halaal, is undoubtedly guilty of kufr. He requires to renew his Kalimah as well as his Nikah.

It is necessary for the elders of the Tabligh Jamaat to understand that this Deen is not in need of flagrant violators who halaalize what Allah Ta’ala has made haraam, for its propagation. The Tabligh Jamaat will be on a better footing and will be more in conformity with the Shariah if it expels this miscreant from its list of speakers and advertisers. It will be indeed a sad day when the Tabligh Jamaat will have to be labelled a sect of baatil. It is necessary for its elders do some sincere soul searching and to clean up its house from the bid’ah accretions which have crept into its ranks. All institutions of Haqq become polluted with bid’ah with the passage of time. If steps are not taken to address the situation, the institution then becomes a sect of baatil.

“Upon us is only to deliver the Clear Message (of Haqq).” (Qur’aan)
