Question:
This questioner says: If a person holds the belief of the Jahmiyyah regarding the issue of Istiwa, interpreting it to mean "seizing" (istiwla), is it permissible to pray behind him?
Answer:
These are not the Jahmiyyah; they are the Asha'irah. [They say] "He who established Himself above the Throne, He seized [dominion]." If you have a choice, do not appoint such a person as imam. However, if you find a group praying and there is no one else, go and pray with them in congregation. Pray with them so that you do not miss the congregation. Yes.
