Question:
And likewise, may Allah preserve you, a similar question says: There is a Sufi imam in our village who frequently recites the Burdah poem. We explained to him that it contains elements of shirk (associating partners with Allah), but he refused. Do we pray behind him?
Answer:
No, do not pray behind him. As long as he supports it and repeats it, this is evidence that he considers it permissible. Do not pray behind him. He does not permit shirk. Do not pray behind him. Yes.
