Performing salaah behind a Salafi
Question
Ahl as Salaf, who dont follow Taqleed, consider saying رب اغفرلى while sitting between two sujud in Salah as waajib. They also consider 9 Arkaan in salaah, although Hanafi maslak considers 4. What is the ruling for praying behind them?
Answer
Salaah will be valid behind them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
