Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

According to your narration, the person who holds this belief is undoubtedly misguided, transgressor and heretic. And it is makrooh tahrimi to pray behind a person who is a transgressor and a heretic. It is not permissible to appoint or maintain a fasiq as an imam. However, if an Imam has a Kufr creed, such as Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who is in fact Allaah, then it will not be permissible for him to pray behind that person. If there is ever a prayer behind such a person, it has to be repeated. [Evidence: Addurrul Mukhtar 1: 423 p. # Fatawa Mahmudia 2:83 # Darul Uloom 3: 160, 245-260] To consider the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as a direct alimul ghaib and hazir-nazir and to consider him a part of the light of the nation of Allaah is kufr. Therefore, one should go to another mosque and offer prayers without praying behind a person who has such a belief. Where Jumu'ah is obligatory, one has to go there and perform Jumu'ah prayers even if the other mosque is far away. If for some reason it is not possible to go to a distant mosque and perform the Jumu'ah prayer one day, then perform the Zuhr prayer alone. Yet one should not do iqtida behind an imam with a disbelieving creed. Tablighi Jama'at is undoubtedly Haqqani Jama'at. It is wrong to oppose them. And female leadership does not accept Islam. However, they can be voted on, especially in the field. 6988921979
