Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Do we pray behind an imam who calls upon the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the dead?
Answer:
No, calling upon the awliya and the dead is shirk (associating partners with Allah). He has no valid prayer, so do not pray behind him. However, explain it to him; perhaps he is ignorant and does not know. Explain it to him and correct his creed. Yes.
