In the Name of Allāh, the Entirely Gracious, the Exclusively Merciful
📩 Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible to pray behind the one who says that Allah is in every place?
📝 The answer:
The one who says that Allah is everywhere is a heretic, because this speech is in opposition with the evidence for the affirmation of the attribute of highness for Allah جل وعلا and there is much mass transmitted evidence. Evidences that no human can restrict or count, in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), that which proves the Highness of Allah جل وعلا
Thus, his rejection of this evidence, if it wasn’t for allegorical interpretation then he would be a disbeliever, however due to the mistake of allegorical interpretation, the scholars deemed them to be heretics only. So this person is a heretic, and if there is no other clear cut kufr (disbelief) with him other than this speech, then the prayer behind him is correct.
If he is able to find another Masjid where the one who leads is a man from Ahluh-Sunnah, then this is better for him than to pray behind such a man. However, if the Masjid of Ahluh-Sunnah is far from you, then it is permissible to pray behind this heretic and his heresy is upon him so long as he is a Muslim.
All Perfect Praise with Love and Veneration is Exclusively for Allah.
