Is the prayer valid behind those who worship graves, even though they say: "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is the prayer valid behind those who worship graves, even though they say: "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"?

Answer:
It is not valid, because their worship of the graves invalidates their saying: "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." So not everyone who says "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" is a Muslim, unless he acts in accordance with it and avoids the nullifiers of Islam. Yes.
