Question:
He says: In our country, there are many sects, the grave-worshippers and the Sufis, among whom are imams and preachers of mosques. The question is: Is it permissible for us to pray behind them?
Answer:
The one whose deviation has reached the level of shirk (associating partners with Allah) is not to be prayed behind. The one who calls upon other than Allah, seeks aid from the dead, slaughters for them, and makes vows for them is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). It is not permissible to pray behind him.
