Is the prayer valid behind one who calls people to seek blessing from him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is the prayer valid behind one who calls people to seek blessing from him?

Answer:
No, if he calls people to seek blessing from him, one does not pray behind him; because he exaggerates in himself, and people seek blessing from him. And what is the reason they seek blessing from him? Seeking blessing is from Allah (Mighty and Majestic), yes.
