Reflection—O Allaah include us amongst these people. Aameen
Allaah (subhaanah) said:
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ وَعُيُونٍ
ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَٮٰهُمۡ رَبُّہُمۡۚ إِنَّہُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٲلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ
كَانُواْ قَلِيلاً۬ مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَہۡجَعُونَ
وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ
وَفِىٓ أَمۡوَٲلِهِمۡ حَقٌّ۬ لِّلسَّآٮِٕلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ
”Verily, the Muttaqoon (pious) will be in the midst of Gardens and springs (in the Paradise), taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinoon (good-doers). They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allaah) and praying, with fear and hope]. And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allaah) for forgiveness, And in their properties there was the right of the beggar, and the Mahroom (the poor who does not ask the others).” [51:15-19]

Ouiga Boards/”Crossing Over”/Communicating with Souls of the Deceased…Sh.Fawzan
Q: What is the ruling on “calling” back the souls/spirits of the deceased [to communicate with them]? And is that a type of magic?
A: No doubt calling upon souls to return [and communicate with] is a type of magic, or fortune-telling. These souls are not the souls of the deceased – as they claim – rather they are shayaateen [devils] who imitate the actual deceased and say, “I am the soul/spirit of such and such, and [in reality] he is from the devils, so this [activity] is not permissible.
The souls of the deceased cannot be retrieved [and communicated with] because they are in the grasp of Allah, “It is Allah Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply.” [Surah az-Zumar: 42]
So the souls are not as they claim, that they come and go – rather that is at the disposal of Allah. Hence calling upon and “retrieving” the souls/spirits of the deceased is falsehood, and it is a type of magic or fortune-telling.”

[Translator’s note: Such activites that have become widespread in society are clearly impermissible; regrettably many have fallen into such affairs through “curiosity”, falling into observing and viewing “shows” online or elsewhere of so called “miracle” individuals who have the ability to “cross-over” or “communicate” with the souls of the deceased.
In such “shows” they call upon names and descriptions within the audience claiming the “presence” of the deceased soul is speaking to them…all such affairs are impermissible. We heard from our scholars stating that the one who views such magic shows, “crossing-over” shows and their likes falls into the narrations of the prohibition of actually visiting the magicians or fortune-tellers in person, hence the threats are applicable to him even though he may be viewing all that from the comfort of his home out of “curiosity only”, therefore great caution is required to be exercised, may Allah protect us and you].

[1] An Extremely Corrupt and Disrespectful statement of the Tijaaniyyah Soofiyyah
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
An Extremely Corrupt and Disrespectful statement of the Tijaaniyyah Soofiyyah
refuted by Al-Allaamah Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Yoosuf Al-Afreeqee (rahimahullaah)
Al-Allaamah Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Yoosuf Al-Afreeqee (rahimahullaah) said: He (i.e. Ahmad Tijaani) stated in Jawaahir Al-Ma’aanee, and likewise in Al-Jaysh (page 91): Indeed, this Wird [1] (i.e. an act of worship by way of supplication, remembrance of Allaah etc) was preserved for me by the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and he did not make it known to any of his companions…..up until he (Tijaani) said: And perhaps he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) delayed it due to the absence of one through whom Allaah would make it known.’’
So concerning his (i.e. Tijaani’s) statement: ‘’Indeed, this Wird was preserved for me by the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and he did not make it known to any of his companions’’ is a rejected of Allaah’s saying: [يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلرَّسُولُ بَلِّغۡ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۖ ] ‘’O Messenger (Muhammad)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord.’’ [5:67]
And it is well known that it is impossible for the Prophets to conceal (Allaah’s Message) because it is a betrayal of trust. And there is no doubt that attributing the (act of concealment) to the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) is disbelief by consensus of the scholars.
And concerning his (i.e. Tijaani’s) statement: ‘’And perhaps he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) delayed it due to the absence of one through whom Allaah would make it known.’’ This statement of his is tantamount to giving himself precedence over Abu-Bakr As-Siddeeq (radiyallaahu-anhu) because (Abu Bakr) was not able to receive this Wird. This is an extremely corrupt statement; rather is an extremely disrespectful speech. [2] [End of Quote]

Likewise, the Moroccan Scholar Al-Allaamah Taqiyudeen Al-Hilaali (rahimahullaah) wrote a Book against the Tijaaniyyah titled: Al-Hidaayatul Haadiyah Ilaa At-Tareeqah At-Tijaaniyyah.
