Repeating the Prayer Behind an Imam Who Is Found to Be a Shi'i
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man prayed behind another, and it turned out that he was a Shi'i. Does he have to repeat his prayer?
The Shaykh:
We do not know if the Shi'i has some shirk (associating partners with Allah) and some of the nullifiers of Islam, then the prayer is not valid; the prayer must be repeated. Yes.
The questioner:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
They are not all the same; some are more severe than others. Yes.
