Fiqh & Tasawwuf: Inseparable

Our master Imam Malik (Allah have mercy on him) said,

‘An individual who practices Tasawwuf without acquiring fiqh (knowledge of Shariah rulings), becomes a heretic (zindeeq).

Whereas the individual who acquires fiqh but abandons Tasawwuf becomes a transgressor (fasiq).

He who acquires both, fiqh and Tasawwuf is successful in reaching the reality (haqiqa).’

Eqaz Al Himam, p30
