Praying behind An Innovator | Imam Shafi and Imam Baghawi

ro   -
۩ Imam al-Baghawi r.h. said:

'Ash-Shaafa‘i regarded it as permissible to accept the testimony of innovators and to pray behind them, with no restrictions, even though he regarded that as disliked. This view of his indicates that if he describes some of them as kaafirs on any occasion, what he meant was lesser kufr, as in the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the kafiroon (i.e. disbelievers – of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allah’s Laws)”'

[al-Maa’idah 5:44].
