I have been told that it is Sunnah, for one to make your Islaah is Fard, to have a Muslih is Waajib and to make Bay’at is Sunnah. Is this correct? If one doesn’t make Bay’at to a Sheikh, how does one make his Islaah?
It is Fardh to make Islaah. There are as many methods of reformation as there are breaths one takes daily. This is according to Ahle Tassawuf. To take Bayat to a Sheikh is Mustahab.
