Is it permissible for Shia Muslims, who have already pledged their allegiance to Imam al-Mahdi (ajtfs), to also engage in the practice of pledging allegiance to a Peer for guidance, as observed among some Shia individuals similar to Sufi practices?
Imam Mahdi
Followers of Ahlul Bayt (AS) pledge allegiance to Imam Mahdi (AS) and never pledge allegiance to any peer or leader who follows other sects. In fact, no allegiance can be allowed to anyone in front of the allegiance to Imam Zaman (AS).
