Question:
This questioner says: The one who says that Allah, Glorified and Exalted, is in every place, is he declared a disbeliever for that, and is it not permissible to pray behind him?
Answer:
Without a doubt, this is hulul (pantheism). He says that Allah is in every place with His essence. This is hulul, and he is not a Muslim. As for the one who says that Allah is in every place with His knowledge and awareness, that is the truth. Yes.
