1. Desist from dufiā√ and dhikr that have been deemed valid
and legal.

2. Exaggerate in the name of Islāmic law.

3. Make something sunnah for which there is no legal basis.
4. Deceive the layman who are of the opinion that something is

166
permissible (when it isn’t).

And we must be careful, that we do not fall into committing

acts of bidfiah and shirk and thereby we would be committing major
sins and our dufiā√ will not be granted.

14. Whomsoever is not permitted to make specific dufiā√ and dhikr

at specific times, such as on a particular night, a particular day,
a particular month, and a particular year. For instance, Rajab,

Niṣfu Shafibān (mid month Shafibān) and so on. And also it is

not permitted to make dufiā√, dhikr and practice any form of
fiibādah that is intentionally or specifically at a certain place for

which there is no definition in law concerning the singularity

of that particular place; such as a grave, a specific masjid,
building, city, nation, shrine, monument, cave or other places

that have been specified. Because such deeds are included
amongst matters that are new within religion and by law they

are bidfiah ḍalalah. Such as establishing (an/the act of) fiibādah

at the grave of a Prophet, a Walīy (Wali Songo – Nine Walīys)
or others by means of the conviction that dufiā√ at such

gravesites will be granted. Those deeds/actions are included

166 Taṣḥīḥud-Dufiā√, p. 44 – Shaikh Bakr bin fiAbdullāh Abū Zaid.
