Can You Keep Relations with Those Who Consider Tahir-ul-Qadri a Mujaddid?

Question:

There are some relatives of Zaid who regard Tahir Minhaji as a Mujad’did. Even after explaining to them and trying to make them understand (about him), they are not willing to accept. Should Zaid keep his relationship with them or not?

Answer:

If Zaid’s relatives are informed i.e. aware of his kufri statements, and they know that he says that the Jews and Christians are believers, and he says that his Masjids are open to the Jews and Christians, and there are also many other kufri statements, and if these people are aware of his kufriyaat and they still regard him as a Mujad’did, and even after explaining it to them, they are still adamant on this, then they are like Tahir (ul Qadri), and to keep association with them is impermissible.
