Leaving the Friday prayer on the pretext of waiting for a just imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There is a group that has emerged claiming that they will not pray the Friday prayer except behind a just imam, so they leave the Friday prayer on that basis.
Answer:
Because they are not praying, they are not praying; they are seeking excuses. This is the statement of the people of misguidance, the Shi'ah. They say, "We do not pray except behind an infallible imam." Meaning, they do not even pray in congregation. They say, "We will not pray behind the Friday prayer or the congregation until the infallible imam has come." This is like them; this is similar to them. Yes.
