Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the imam is a Jahmi and people prayed behind him, should the people be informed that it is obligatory for them to repeat the prayer, or should they remain silent about it and about themselves?
Answer:
This depends on the public benefit and the absence of harm. For example, if you stand in the mosque and say, "I see your prayer is invalid, and I see the imam is such-and-such," this entails harm. However, if you clarify this to individuals in private and advise them in private, then this is obligatory. Yes.
