Question

I had bay'at with a shaikh. Can I change my shaikh without informing him or is it necessary to inform him?

Answer

If you have a shaikh it is not right to move away from him without a valid reason.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
