A person says that Adam had a father and a mother who were human-like; is it permissible to pray behind him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: An imam in our country says that Adam had a father and a mother who were human-like. His question is: Is it permissible to pray behind this man?

Answer:
This is a false statement. Adam had no father and no mother; Allah created him from clay. As for Hawwa, she had a father but no mother, because Allah created her from Adam (peace be upon him); He created her from a father without a mother. The rest of the children of Adam are from a father and a mother. Jesus (peace be upon him) is from a mother without a father. These are the categories of creation: some were created without a father or a mother, namely Adam; some were created from a father without a mother, namely Hawwa, the mother of mankind; some were created from a mother without a father, namely Jesus (peace be upon him); and some were created from a mother and a father, namely the rest of mankind. So, the one who says this statement is either ignorant, in which case it is explained to him and he retracts this statement, and if he retracts it, his imamate is valid. If it is explained to him and he does not return to the truth, then one does not pray behind him, because this is deviation and lying about Allah the Exalted. Allah says He created Adam from clay, meaning He created him from a father and a mother. Yes.
