This paper is to clarify the stand of Ibn F?di on Sufism. He emerged as one of the scholars during the nineteenth century, as a result of a great portion of knowledge given to him by Allah. The researchers used inductive, deductive and analytical methods. Meanwhile, this paper comprises three sections after the introduction. The first section treats the biography of Ibn Fudi. The second deals with his opinions on Sufism, while the third analyses his opinions and the general perspectives on Sufism. Finally, it is realised that Ibn Fudi was a scholar who used to follow the Islamic guidelines in his activities and frowned against all unconventional acts of the Sufi order.

This article is aimed to examine the extent of the application of Islamic legal objectives by Sheikh Abdullah bin Fudi in his rejoinder against one of their contemporary scholars who accused them of being over-liberal about the religion. He claimed that there has been a careless intermingling of men and women in the preaching and counselling gathering they used to hold, under the leadership of Sheikh Uthman bin Fudi (the Islamic reformer of the nineteenth century in Nigeria and West Africa). Thus, in this study, the researchers seek to answer the following interrogations: who was Abdullah bin Fudi? who was their critic? what was the subject matter of the criticism? How did the rebutter get equipped with some guidelines of higher objectives of Sharĩʻah in his rejoinder to the critic? To this end, this study had tackled the questions afore-stated by using inductive, descriptive and analytical methods to identify the personalities involved, define and analyze some concepts and matters considered as the hub of the study.

This research work seeks to bring into view the status quo of the Yoruba customary system of inheritance, which is to some extent opposed to the Islamic legal system of inheritance. This is because it is observed that the Yoruba customary system is characterized by some oppression and injustice. Some eligible persons are being deprived their shares like the woman, children and so on. As it is known that Islamic legal rulings have come to put an end to the Pre-Islamic orders in all affairs, transactions and personal laws, including the inheritance. Allah prescribed them all for mankind to eliminate oppression and establish justice among the individuals and groups in the family and the society. Despite the fact that Muslims are in Majority in Yorubaland Nigeria, most of the Muslims still follow the customary system of inheritance where some individuals who enjoy the estate are not entitled to it.
