“I constantly say to my friends, the Ulama and students: Don’t consider yourself to be like the Awaam (general masses) and say that we did such a thing because it is permissible.
Instead, Ulama are required to abstain from many permissible things as well, so that the general public is not misguided.
Ulama will have to refrain from such acts which could cause confusion amongst the masses.
Likewise, they will have to stay away from such works which do not agree with their outward appearance and position that portray them to be the Friends of Allah Ta`ala, though the actions may be permissible.”
(Mufti Shafee’ Rahmatullahi alaih)
