Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This question is from a brother in Canada, and he asks: Is it permissible to pray behind someone who belongs to one of the groups, such as the Tabligh group, for example?

Answer:
Yes. A group that has not departed from Islam, one that has not left Islam, one may pray behind them. Even if they have some errors, as long as they do not have shirk (associating partners with Allah), or calling at graves, or a defective creed, and their utmost is a methodology containing errors, this does not prevent praying with them or praying behind them, because they are Muslims. It is permissible to pray behind a Muslim even if he has the errors he has, provided he has not departed from Islam. Yes.
