The imams of the mosques in my country believe that Allah is everywhere. Should I pray behind them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In my country, they believe, or most of them believe, that Allah is everywhere.

The Shaykh:
We ask Allah for safety.

The questioner:
And the imams of the mosques there are in this state. He says: Should I pray alone, or pray with them, or pray only the Friday prayer with them?

The Shaykh:
If you know that the imam holds this belief, do not pray behind him. But if you do not know, the default for a Muslim is goodness and integrity if you do not know. Yes.
