Is an Imam who said, "It's normal to taste a little from Hell, or a couple of times," considered an apostate for belittling the torment of Hell? Is it permissible to pray behind him? And is his saying, "And I repent to Him," after the prayer considered sufficient repentance for this statement?

Your hearing of this is not enough to level accusations against this Imam; rather, conclusive evidence must be established. If it is proven that he said these words, then he is in grave danger and manifest error due to his belittling of the Fire's torment. He must be advised and repent.
