The Ruling on Praying Behind One Who Permits Singing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Is it permissible to pray behind one who permits singing?

Answer:
It is not permissible to pray behind him, because this is openly committing a sin. If he were to listen to it and no one knew about it, that would be easier than him openly declaring that musical instruments are lawful. Musical instruments are lawful, and singing is absolutely lawful. There is no doubt that this is openly committing a sin.
