Praying Behind an Imam from the Tabligh Group

Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to pray behind an imam from the Tabligh group, or not? If it is not permissible, do we, as the community of the neighborhood, write to the Waqf to have him replaced, or what do we do?

Answer:
You have the principle that if a person has no defect in his creed and no shirk (associating partners with Allah), and no shirk or apostasy, then the prayer behind him is valid. So, the prayer behind them is valid, if Allah wills. However, you should seek to have the Waqf replace him with someone in a better state and more adherent to the Sunnah, so that there is no confusion for the people. The imams who are upright upon the Sunnah are many, praise be to Allah, and we do not need such a person. Yes.
As for the prayer itself, as long as he has no shirk and no kufr (disbelief), the prayer behind him is valid. Even if he has bid'ah (religious innovation), as long as his bid'ah does not take him out of the religion, his prayer is valid, and the prayer of those behind him is valid. But this is with the effort to replace him with someone better than him.
