Question:
The questioner says: I live in the city of London, and there is a large mosque there, and many people who are new to commitment pray there. The mosque has two imams; one of them believes that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is present everywhere and hears everything, and the other does not hold this belief. Is it permissible to pray in that mosque so that I can call people to the truth?
Answer:
A mosque, and he is in it. There are two imams. An imam. Where is he in the mosque? In London. London. London. Yes. The imam who believes that the Messenger is everywhere and that he… this is not permissible to pray behind him. Pray behind the moderate imam. The moderate imam who follows the methodology of the Sunnah.
The methodology of the truth. As for this one who holds in beliefs, you do not pray behind him. Because this is an exaggeration regarding the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), as is well known, has died, he has died, and was buried (peace and blessings be upon him) in his grave. He is not everywhere. This is the talk of the superstitious and the extremists who exaggerate regarding the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
