Question
Some musallis of the Lakefield Musjid are now in a quandary regarding their Salaat. The Majlis has branded the Imaam of the Musjid a Salafi. Is our Salaat behind him valid?
Answer
Salaat behind Salafis is valid. However, in this particular case, the musallis should ascertain if he makes masah on ordinary socks. If he makes masah on ordinary socks, then Salaat behind him will not be valid. But if he assures the musallis that he does not make masah on ordinary socks, then Salaat behind him will be valid behind him despite him being a Salafi.
