Should i pray behind an imam in these two scenarios… A- I was told by someone that he blew on them and said that he will have a dream after the imam visited a known magician who I was warning against. B- I was told by someone when giving dawah to tawheed that this mufti writes taweez. They used this as an arguemnt to defend taweez. I am convinced by the individual’s testimony.
