Praying Behind an Open Sinner

A problem occurred in our country, which is that the imam and khatib of the mosque accused a woman of zina. A committee was formed with the shaykh of the village, and it was established that this woman was innocent and that the man was lying. He paid a fine of three thousand pounds in exchange for his accusation of this woman.And he says: The issue is: Is it permissible to pray behind this imam who accused this woman?The Shaykh: Where is this?The questioner: In foreign countries, in the neighboring countries that are not governed by the Shari'ah.

The Shaykh: All right, he should return to the scholars there and ask them.
