The questioner:
You are a man, may Allah forgive you, who entered the mosque and saw the imam, meaning this is the situation, and saw that the imam was shaving his head, so he said to the one behind him, "Wait for him until we pray another one with him," and I do not know.
The Shaykh:
He prays with him, even if he is disobedient. He prays with him, even if he is disobedient. He prays with the congregation. The Companions prayed behind the rulers, they prayed behind al-Hajjaj and others,
The presenter:
this is the practice.
The Shaykh:
No, no, no.
