Dealing with the people who call for aid other than Allah and praying behind them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
How should a graduate deal with his people who call for aid other than Allah, and the like?
The Shaykh:
Explain it to them.
The questioner:
As for praying with them and behind them.
The Shaykh:
Explain to them that those who call for aid other than Allah are committing major shirk (associating partners with Allah). Explain it to them; perhaps they are ignorant or followers of others, and nothing of the truth has reached them, so convey the truth to them and explain it to them. As for praying behind him, as long as he calls for aid other than Allah, the prayer behind him is not valid. Yes.
