Right of the Shaykh
Posted June 21st, 2009 by 'abd
Imam Qushairy (Allah have mercy on him) said,
“It is essential (wajib) for the murid to conceal his private affairs with utmost vigilance. He should not disclose them to his closest friend.
However, this concealment should not be done when dealing with the Shaykh.
If an individuals hides even a single breath from his Shaykh then indeed he has committed a great breach of trust in the rights of the Shaykh.”
