The Tablighi Jamaat

Question
There are people called the Tablighi Jamaat, who leave their homes for a few days after every period, claiming that they purify themselves, learn, and teach people righteousness and obedience, and call to Allah Almighty. What do we say about them? Because some scholars say that their actions are an innovation and they are contrary to the Sunnah of the Messenger.
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This is a contemporary missionary group that seeks to work with and spread Islam. It is on a significant front and is making great efforts. It is hoped that it, along with other Islamic groups active in the field, will adhere to a doctrinal, jurisprudential, and behavioral school of thought as a basis for its missionary work, in order to protect itself from deviation and have a greater impact on society. And God knows best.
