The ruling on praying behind an imam whose creed you do not know

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of fatwa number 7503
Q3: What is the ruling on eating meat when the one who slaughtered it is unknown in his creed, and praying behind him?
A3: If the Muslim is outwardly unknown in his state regarding his creed, and no deviation in his creed is known about him, then the prayer behind him is valid and his slaughtered meat is eaten. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
