Question

What is the ruling on performing Salaah behind some one who watches TV or is sinful in any way?

Answer

It is Makruh to perform salaat behind one who sees TV or movies as such a person is a fasiq (transgressor).

He should be approached in privacy by a respected figure in the community and be asked to repent and stay away from all such sins.
