Praying Behind One Who Permits Supplication to Other Than Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible to pray behind one who permits supplication to other than Allah, and taking the awliya (close friends of Allah) as intermediaries between him and Allah?
Answer:
This is shirk (associating partners with Allah), and the one who commits shirk has no valid prayer, nor is it valid for him to be an imam until he repents to Allah, makes his worship sincere for Allah, and abandons shirk.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
