Who is an abdaal?
Question
The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
Who is an abdaal?
Answer
Rasulallah ( saw ) informed us of the different categories of saintly persons. For example the Abdaals, the Masaaib, and the Nujabaa. Abdaal is the plural of Badl and when any one of the forty Abdaals pass away, he is immediately replaced by another saintly person. (Abu Dawood)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
