Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There are three people, and the one I memorize the Book of Allah with is the one who leads them in prayer. Should he be given priority, even though some say he has Sufism, although he does not display any clear matter from the beliefs of the Sufis? Do we pray behind him?
Answer:
If nothing is revealed to you about him, pray behind him. But if it is revealed that he is a Sufi and an innovator, do not pray behind him. Verify his status.
