Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The Murji'ah are an innovative sect that deviates from the creed of the People of the and the Community (Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah). Their sayings range from extremism (faith is merely knowledge of the heart) to moderation (faith is only the heart's affirmation), or that faith is affirmation and utterance. Praying behind them is valid according to the most preponderant opinion, though disliked. If it is possible to pray behind others, that is better; otherwise, there is no harm.
