Performing Namaz Behind a Barelvi Imam

I am connected to the Deobandi Sect and my question is,
Where did Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam say that it is permissible to perform Namaz appointing a person who possesses such and such qualities as Imam? What I mean is, why is it not allowed to perform Namaz following Barelvis?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

Generally, Barelvis, apart from adhering to innovative traditions, also bear such beliefs that causes one to exit the fold of Islam. Therefore, it is Makrooh-e-Tahreemi to perform Namaz behind such a person, and
unlawful to appoint him as the Imam.
