The Ruling on Following in Prayer Someone Who Commits Immorality

Question
Is it permissible to follow in prayer someone who commits the immorality of sodomy?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The one who commits such a sin is a sinner, and it is valid to pray behind a sinner, a misguided person, and an oppressor, as established by the people of the Sunnah. And God knows best.
