The Ruling on Praying Behind a Sufi

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Does one pray behind a Sufi? Can he be an imam?

Answer:
This varies. If his Sufism leads to some form of shirk (associating partners with Allah) or defective belief, then one does not pray behind him.
