Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I go to a mosque on the way, and a man who lets his garment hang below the ankles or shaves his beard is praying with them, do I pray behind him?
Answer:
Pray with him; he is a Muslim, and as long as he is a Muslim, even if he is disobedient, the prayer behind him is valid in this case for the sake of the congregation. Pray with them, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
