Tablighi Jamaat maintains a non-affiliating stature in matters of politics and fiqh (jurisprudence) Although Tabligh Jamaat emerged from the Deobandi sub-school in the Hanafi fiqh, no particular interpretation of Islam has been endorsed since the beginning of the movement since the Quran and Hadith from which various denominations derive their authority and sanctity is one and immutable. Tabligh Jamaat has claimed to avoid electronic media and has emphasised a personal communication for proselytising. Although prominent Tablighi personalities such as Tariq Jameel feature on an extensive range of Internet videos and often appear on TV boasting of their links with famous Indian film actors and actresses. The teachings of Tabligh Jamaat are mainly basic in approach and the Six Principles put forward by Muhammad Ilyas influence most of their teachings.
