The Qadiriya Boutchichia Sufi order has issued a statement to clarify confusion surrounding an old video that has been circulating on social media in recent days. The order emphasized that the video, which shows activities from a previous event, is being shared out of context and does not reflect its current positions or activities.
In its communiqué, the zaouia (Sufi lodge) explained that the footage was taken from an event organized in the past and has been misleadingly presented to suggest something inaccurate. The statement urges the public to disregard the video and to refer to official channels for accurate information about the order's activities.
The Boutchichia order, one of the most prominent Sufi orders in Morocco, regularly organizes religious and spiritual gatherings. The recent circulation of the video appears to be an attempt to misrepresent the order's teachings or actions, though the statement did not specify the exact content of the video or the nature of the misinterpretation.
This is not the first time that religious figures or institutions have been targeted by misleading social media content. The order's statement calls for vigilance and reminds followers to verify information before sharing.
