Which of the following statements is correct?
a- The be-shari‘a complied with sharia laws.
b- The ba-shari‘a defied the sharia laws.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Some mystics initiated movements based on a radical interpretation of Sufi ideals. They ignored rituals and observed extreme forms of asceticism. They were known by different names – Qalandars, Madaris, Malangs, Haidaris, etc. Because of their deliberate defiance of the shari‘a they were often referred to as be-shari‘a, in contrast to the ba-shari‘a Sufis who complied with it.
