Aslam

Praise be to Allah.We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen,

may Allaah preserve him, who replied as follows:

“If he does not call others to follow his bid’ah and is not

stubborn when the truth becomes clear to him, there is nothing wrong with him leading the

prayer, otherwise, it is better if someone else leads the prayer even if he knows less

Qur’an. And Allaah knows best.”
