The ruling on praying behind one who claims to see Allah and the angels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A man claims that he saw Allah and His angels in a dream, and he writes amulets for people, and he does what the Sufis do. Is it permissible to pray behind him? And how should a Muslim deal with him?
Answer:
This is a superstitious person. It is not permissible to pray behind him, nor for him to be an imam for people, nor for him to be a role model for people. The one who asks people for these things—that they revere him and that he says, "I saw Allah and I saw the angels"—and he asks people to revere him; this is a superstitious person with a bad creed.
