Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who says that Allah is in every place? And is it permissible to pray behind him?
Answer:
This is a disbeliever. This is a follower of the doctrine of divine indwelling (hulul). The one who says that Allah is in every place is a follower of the doctrine of divine indwelling and a disbeliever. He has not purified Allah from being in the sewers, the restrooms, and the filthy places in every location. Glorified and Exalted is He above that. There is no doubt that he is a disbeliever. The scholars have declared the followers of the doctrine of divine indwelling to be disbelievers without any doubt. And one does not pray behind them. Yes.
