Question:
May Allah reward you with good. What is the ruling on praying behind a man whose belief you suspect is not sound?
Answer:
If you know nothing about him, or if he testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, then hold a good opinion of him. The default for a Muslim is integrity, goodness, and praise be to Allah. However, if you find in him something that contradicts the religion and the creed, then avoid him and do not pray behind
