Please note that there is no other option for me.  My college is situated in a village and the only option is to pray in  that particular mosque. Is it permissible to offer Jumu\u2019ah (Friday)  Prayer at my college after delivering the sermon? <\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>If the <em>imam<\/em> prostrates before the graves of the righteous persons he commits an act that can safely be termed <em>shirk <\/em>(polytheism).  However, such acts are often explained away by these people. They claim  to be monotheists and that they do not commit <em>shirk<\/em>. Thus we cannot declare them <em>mushrik<\/em>  (polytheists). We see that the Holy Qur\u2019an rejects the Christian  beliefs about divinity of Jesus Christ and declares it a polytheistic  act yet it does call the Christians <em>mushrik<\/em>. It does not deal  with them like the polytheists of Arabia who openly confessed their  polytheism. In the light of the Qur\u2019anic guidance we cannot say that  those who visit the graves and commit polytheistic acts are <em>mushrik<\/em>  and non-Muslims. And as long as a person is considered believer we can  offer prayer behind him. It must be disturbing for you but I would  suggest keep praying behind him if you have no other option. You can  also arrange Friday Congregation in the hostel if that is possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-07<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5919\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"1\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would like to know if it is  permissible to pray &#8216;Jumu\u2019ah (Friday) Prayer led by a person who goes  to graves of righteous people to seek blessing from them and also  prostrates on graves?
