Ask Qul - Salaat / Prayers - praying behind unjust Imam

Pearl of Wisdom

in his intimate supplication, my God, I have no way to guard myself from sin except through Your protection, and no way to attain good deeds except by Your will. So how can I ever benefit from that which You have preceded with Your will?! And how can I ever guard myself from sins as long as Your protection does not cover me therein.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

al-Balad al-Amin, p. 315

Question : #374

Category: Salaat / Prayers

Subject:	praying behind unjust Imam
Question:	Can I follow a prayer leader, if I do not know that he is Adil, and what makes one Adil / Just?
Answer:	You must make sure that he is just, or else, you cannot follow him. And a person is said to be just when he performs all those acts which are obligatory upon him, and refrains from all those things which are forbidden to him. And the sign of being just is that one is apparently of a good character, so that if inquiries are made about him from the people of his locality, or from his neighbours, or from those persons with whom he lives, they would confirm his good conduct
