Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on praying behind the grave-worshippers?
Answer:
Those who call upon the dead and seek their aid are mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah); they are not upon Islam. Even if they pray, their prayer is not valid, because shirk (associating partners with Allah) invalidates any deed, whether it is prayer or anything else. Is it not permissible to pray behind them? Yes.
