Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man believes that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was created from light and that he was the first of creation. He asks: Is it permissible to pray behind one who believes these things?
Answer:
No, one does not pray behind them. One does not pray behind one who holds this belief. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that Allah told him:[Al-Kahf 18:110], like you. He is different from humanity, but Allah distinguished him with the message. Yes.
