Pseudo-sufis were always a problem where someone didn't keep these movements in check. There needs to be some way of legitimizing and/or filtering. Let's not forget that a lot of pseudo-sufis [criticized heavily in 'Mashaikh-e-Chisht'] cause more harm than good.

Excuse my ignorance, but can you explain some practices that pseudo-sufis do that are not recognized by traditional 'ulama?

I mean, some people call the aspect of 'tariqa' crazy enough, and put that into pseudo-sufi, although I think Sunniforum wouldn't have forums for such things if this were the majority traditional position on Sufism.

Jazakallah.
