mashayikh cannot be doing such things what kind of precedent would that set for laymen?!?!?!?!? if rasulullah himself would not touch women, and no one on earth could have a purer heart than him how on earth can anyone else make excuses for themselves. again keep in mind he's a shaykh (for better or worse) and people will follow him. besides the issue has nothing to do with whether his wudu is broken or not! its about physical contact with the opposite gender, keeping in mind the shaykh comes into contact with young women and even has them play music for him. and then there's the issue of his khulafa stirring up trouble for other muslims in america callign them terrorists etc. how on earth can mashayikh of tasawuff (regardless of their differences) go around calling well established muslim organizations terrorists if i remember correctly they targetted CAIR. very strange behaviour. whats even more strange is the fasct that they call themsekves "naqshbandi" are they not aware of how rigid and strict the teachings of Shaykh Ahmed Sirhindi (rah) are? He did not even allow sama' and raqs, let alone this dancing and music which these folks involve themselves in.
