Question

What is the difference between tasarruf and karaamah?

Answer

A karaamat is done by a wali but it is not at all done by his volition and choice. Tasarrruf, at times, is on account of training and exercising some of the spiritual faculties. By exercising some of the spiritual faculties one is able to do certain things.

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

Ask Mufti Online

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.
