It is permissible to pray behind an innovator as long as their innovation is not one that constitutes disbelief. It is not permissible to pray in a mosque that contains a grave. It is not permissible to disobey one's parent regarding going to a distant mosque when it is possible to pray in congregation in a closer mosque or at home. Therefore, the mosque whose imam is an innovator is the one where prayer should be performed if his innovation does not constitute disbelief.
