What is the ruling on following the imam if he omits some of the recommended practices according to the follower's opinion?

The questioner : Shaykh, you have spoken about the follower performing the recommended practices behind an imam who does not perform them. Do these recommended practices differ from one to another?

The Shaykh : No, the follower is commanded to follow the imam in everything the imam does of the recommended practices; whether a practice is a recommended practice in the follower's opinion or not, provided one condition is met: that the imam whom the follower is following is adhering to one of the imams of the Muslims, and is not an innovator, and is not following a desire or a custom among people. This is due to the generality of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . I have already explained this issue in response to similar questions in some gatherings, so there is no justification or excuse now for repeating what has been previously explained; let us hear a new question.
