Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Sometimes a person prays with us in our mosque. When he recites al-Fatihah in the loud prayer, he says, "All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds," and then he says, "The Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy," raising his voice for "The Most Merciful." What is the ruling on our prayer behind him?
Answer:
This is a mistake, but it does not change the meaning. The prayer is valid, but he erred in this. Yes.
