The ruling on praying behind one who commits a religious innovation such as Druwishism
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A message from the listener Abdullah Abdullah from the Iraqi Republic, Baghdad, who sent a message saying: Near our house there is a mosque where we used to pray in congregation. After a while, we found that the mosque’s imam and his shaykh (scholar) commit matters that have no basis in the religion, such as Druwishism and others. Is it permissible to pray behind him? What do you advise us? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: This is vague. Druwishism does not have a known definition; clarification is necessary. What is this Druwishism? Is it a known religious innovation? Or is it supplicating to other than Allah, or calling for aid from other than Allah? Or what is Druwishism? It is not possible to answer this without clarifying what Druwishism is. Yes.
The presenter: So, we are waiting for brother Abdullah’s second message to clarify this matter?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
