Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1058/1058=J)

Religion should always be learnt through authorized Ulama and authentic books. According to the beliefs and thought that we know about him, he is deviated from the path of well-versed Ulama in many of the thoughts. His approach seems contradicted to authentic Ulama of salaf. Therefore, one should avoid attending his programmes. However, if you happen to listen his talk you should not rely him until you confirm it by any Aalim.
