Question

salam,i want ask about this inman(inman amhadu nb ali allbuyuni)Is he a sunni or sufi or shia ?he wrote a book called samsulmaaruful kubura .salam

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

We have already issued Fatwa 81873 warning against the book “Shams Al-Ma’aarif” as it contains magic, falsehood and acts that take a person out of the fold of Islam.

As regards its author, he is a Sufi and it is said that he was born in Boonah (Annaba) in Algeria, in 520 A.H. and he died in 622 A.H. 

Allaah Knows best.
