(Fatwa: 694/B=100/TB=1433)
We do not term any person kafir having the beliefs of Barailaviat. We consider them Muslim, but they are bidati due to their deviant beliefs. Salah behind a bidati is makrooh tahrimi. If there are many Deobandi people then you may start your own jama’ah. And if there is no way then you should offer salah behind that Barailavi imam. In case you offer salah alone you would be deprived of the reward of jama’ah.
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
Darul Ifta,
Darul Uloom Deoband
