Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on praying behind one who persistently recites the qunut in the Fajr prayer and seeks nearness to Allah through the status of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
He should go to another mosque if he can find one; he goes to the mosque that does not have this religious innovation (bid'ah). If he does not find one, he does not abandon the congregation; he prays with them. The prayer is valid, if Allah wills, and the sin is on the man who introduced the innovation. But he does not abandon the congregation; he prays alone. Yes.
