Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: Sometimes I am on the road and the time for prayer has entered, and I do not find a mosque other than a Sufi mosque, and I do not know the specific condition of the imam. His question is: Is it permissible for me to leave the congregational prayer because of that?
Answer:
If you see the people praying, pray with them. Pray with them, and do not have intentions like this or that. As long as they are praying, pray. If the people do good, do good with them. As 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If the people do good, do good with them. And if they do evil, avoid their evil. Yes.
