Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, a man believes that there is no harm in touching the mushaf without ablution, and likewise in touching the private parts. Is it valid for us to pray behind him?
Answer:
No, it is not valid to appoint him as an imam; it is not valid to appoint him as an imam for the people when he holds these views. However, if you happen to find him praying and there is a second congregation, and if you do not pray with him you would pray alone, then pray behind him and do not abandon the congregation. Yes. But appointing him as an imam while he holds this view is not valid. Yes, except for one who is like him. Yes.
