Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on praying behind those with corrupt beliefs, such as the Rafidah, the Isma'ilis, and the Sufis? And does it hold the same status as praying behind the Jahmiyyah?
Answer:
The principle in this matter is that if a person’s deviation is one that constitutes disbelief and takes him out of the religion, then one does not pray behind him, even if he is the one in authority. As for the one whose deviation does not take him out of the religion, one prays behind him. Yes.
