Question:
What is the ruling on praying behind an innovator?
Answer:
Answer: As for the innovator whose innovation is a major shirk (associating partners with Allah) that entails disbelief, one does not pray behind him, because he is not a Muslim. As for an innovation that is less than disbelief, he is also not to be appointed as an imam. However, if you find people praying behind him, and his innovation does not entail disbelief, then you pray with the congregation behind him.
