Question
Are Ahmadis, Qadianis and Barelvis Muslim? Is Salaat behind them permissible?
Answer
Ahmedis and Qadianis are not Muslims. They are the followers of Gulam Ahmed of Qadian who was an imposter who claimed to be a nabi. Salaat behind them is obviously not valid. Barelvis, although people of Bid'ah, are Muslims. Endeavour not to perform Salaat behind them. But in a situation where a Barelvi happens to be the imaam, the Salaat will be valid.
