The ruling on praying behind one who swears by other than Allah and wears amulets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 4876 ):
Q2: Is it permissible to pray behind one who swears by other than Allah and wears amulets and has a belief in a Shaykh from among the Shaykhs of the Sufiyyah ?
A2: Swearing by other than Allah may be major shirk (associating partners with Allah) or minor shirk, depending on what is in the heart of the one who swears. Likewise, amulets; some of them are major shirk, and some
are minor shirk. The ruling on having a belief in a Shaykh from among the Shaykhs of the Sufiyyah varies according to the nature of the belief. You did not clarify his state in the question. However, you should advise this imam about what he does that does not please Allah. If he accepts the advice, otherwise, pray behind someone else. And success is from Allah. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
