Has there been a response to this? The second statement says the ulema will fulfil their duty if the shaykh doesn't respond... What does that entail exactly?
This is the original letter which was sent from Sunni 'Ulama and Shuyukh of the UK to Shaykh Sayyid Muhammad al-Ya'qoubi on 15th September 2019 through various means and was confirmed as received by his murid Mawlana Muhammad Wajid Iqbal on 8th October 2019. Since then no response has been received from the Shaykh and this has now become an open letter in anticipation of an open response.
UK ulama wrote to Shaykh Yaqubi and have waited nearly 6 months for a response. Allah ta'ala bless the ulama for their efforts in protecting correct Sunni methodology.
