The questioner : Yes. Our Shaykh, the common people among us may hold to the beliefs of the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazilah and defend them, but they do not believe that these are like the belief of the innovators, and it is difficult to explain and clarify these matters to them. So how should we deal with them regarding praying behind them, in case one of them is an imam?
The Shaykh : Dealing with them is easy. These common people are very easy to convince regarding the issue of the Exaltedness of Allah, the scholar's statement on the Exaltedness of Allah. It is easy to convince them. You, the scholar, when you call upon Allah, where do you go?
The questioner : Look at the reason.
The Shaykh : What is the reason?
The questioner : The sky is blown up for them.
The Shaykh : And that is why, from the time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her:Sunan Abi Dawud 3282Sahih (Al-Albani)
