Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on praying behind an imam who holds to the createdness of the Qur'an, or who says the Qur'an is created, if we find no one else in the village?

Answer:
No, do not pray behind him. The one who says the Qur'an is created is a disbeliever. The one who says the Qur'an is created and is not the speech of Allah is a disbeliever, may Allah protect us from that. The Jahmiyyah were declared disbelievers for this. Yes.
