Participating with an heretical polytheist will not make anyone's sacrifice valid
Question: A Barelvi believes that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) knows the unseen, is present everywhere, and has control over everything. He also believes that the Prophet (ﷺ) and the saints have the power to benefit or harm, and have control over health, wealth, honor, and children. If such a person participates in the sacrifice, will the sacrifice of the other participants be valid?
Answer: Such a person is a polytheist, and it is not permissible to participate with him in the sacrifice. The sacrifice of none of the participants who join him will be valid.
