Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In my country, outside these lands, the imam of the mosque in our village belongs to the Tijaniyyah order, and they are grave worshippers with these beliefs. Is it permissible to pray behind this imam, or should I pray in my house?
Answer:
If he calls upon other than Allah, he has shirk (associating partners with Allah), and it is permissible to pray behind him, because his prayer is not valid. He has major shirk; he calls upon other than Allah, slaughters for other than Allah, and makes vows for other than Allah. It is not permissible to pray behind him; his prayer is not valid, and it is not valid to pray behind him. And it is not valid to pray behind one whose prayer is defective. Yes.
