What is the ruling on praying behind someone who sways constantly in prayer during the standing, bowing, and prostrating, knowing that he also leads people in Friday prayers? And what is the ruling on the prayers that were prayed behind him?
It is not far-fetched that the imam's swaying is merely illusions and whispers (waswas) that have no reality, because the person afflicted with waswas may imagine things that did not happen. This is evident in the questioner's description of the imam swaying during prostration, which is unlikely. Therefore, the repeated advice is to ignore waswas. And Allah knows best.
