Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on praying behind one who sometimes loses his mind, knowing that he stepped forward to lead the prayer without the guardian's permission, and he refused to do anything but pray for the people?
Answer:
If what happened to him during the prayer was something [that did not affect his sanity], then his prayer and the prayer of those behind him are valid. But if something happened to him during the prayer that left him without his prayer, then his leading the prayer is not valid. Yes.
