Leaving the congregational prayer in a mosque containing Sufi matters

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from outside the country says: If all the people of my village are Sufis, and the mosque contains Sufi matters, is it permissible for me to leave

The Shaykh:
Yes?

The questioner:
the mosque contains Sufi matters, is it permissible for me to leave the congregational prayer with these people?

The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. Establish a special prayer area for yourselves where you pray, or go to a mosque where there is no manifestation of Sufism and no authority of the Sufis. Yes.
