Question:
The fourth question: A brother from Azerbaijan, in the city where he lives, all the residents are Shi'ah. Does he pray behind them?
Answer:
He does not pray behind them if they are of the Shi'ah who follow the Ja'fari school or something more extreme than that, the Batini school, who hate the Companions, insult them, and curse them, or who call upon the Imams other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and worship graves and shrines. It is not permissible to pray behind them. So do not pray behind the Shi'ah. Establish a prayer place for yourselves and pray alone. If they pray with you, do not prevent them. If they pray with you, do not prevent them. As for you, do not pray behind them.
