Is it permissible to pray in the mosques of the Ibadi?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: O Shaykh, here in Algeria, as you know, and Allah knows best, we have Ibadis.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: When traveling, is it permissible for us to pray in their mosques, and they are Ibadis?
The Shaykh: If the Ibadis among you believe in the Book and the Sunnah and preserve the symbols of Islam, even if they are in some deviation, as is the case with many of the old and new sects, then it is permissible to pray behind them.
The questioner: As you know, O Shaykh, they say they affirm the creation of the Qur'an and deny the seeing of Allah.
The Shaykh: If they say the Qur'an is created, then the prayer behind them is not valid.
The questioner: Yes, O Shaykh, they affirm the creation of the Qur'an and deny the seeing of Allah.
The Shaykh: The creation of the Qur'an!!
The questioner: And they do not affirm the rising above the Throne.
The Shaykh: This was the case with the Mu'tazilah, and many of the misguided sects in the past.
The questioner : Hmm.
The Shaykh: And yet, they are not declared disbelievers, but rather misguided. So if you do not have anyone from the people of the Sunnah and the community to pray behind, it is better for you to pray behind them than to pray alone. I hope the answer has become clear to you?
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh: Yes.
