Question

Are Sufis innovators in Islam?

Answer

No. Just as aalims are not innovators, sufis are not innovators as well, provided the aalim and sufi adhere to the sunnat.

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.
