The prayer of the questioner and those with him in what
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: We are the congregation of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab in Turaib , and a Pakistani man who had memorized the Noble Qur'an led us in prayer for a period of about five to six months. One day, Shaykh Sa'id ibn 'Ali ibn Wahf came to this mosque and prayed behind this man—that is, the Pakistani. At the end of the prayer, the Shaykh asked him about creed and said to him: "Where is Allah?" The Pakistani replied: "He is everywhere." At that point, the congregation—that is, the mosque congregation—asked the Pakistani to leave the mosque and do another job other than leading the mosque's prayer. The question is: Do we repeat the prayer we prayed behind this man—that is, the Pakistani—or what do we do?
A: The prayer of the questioner and those with him in the past is valid, and they are not required to repeat it. They must seek an imam whose creed is free from defect, and they must not allow the man about whom the question was asked to lead the prayer in their mosque.
