Consultation has been ordered. it is not right to do something
without consultation. If you are going to consult, it must be with a man in whom you have trust.
It is not consultation to come to a man and say, “I am doing
something now, I am going somewhere now; what do you say?” It is not right for a man to come to a person and say, “O my Shaykh! O my Master! I intend to travel, I’ve got my ticket. What do you say about my traveling?” This is not consultation. I shall tell you, “Very good. No worry.”
Before doing anything, you will ask, “O my Master! I intend traveling. How do you see it? Is it all right or not?”Then, as you are advised you must do, you must listen. This is consultation.
You must bring the whole cloth to the master saying, “Please cut as you like.” This is consultation. Then he cuts. You must not bring cut cloth. So many people say, “We consulted!” but, in the end, finally coming no good. “How can this be? I consulted with my Shaykh, and I went. What happened to me?”
You must be careful, especially about three things: marriage,
divorce, and traveling. You must ask your Shaykh about these three important points!
