The ma'mum's response to the imam when he makes a mistake in recitation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the imam makes a mistake in the recitation but it does not invalidate it, is it permissible for the ma'mum to correct him?
Answer:
Yes. If he lowers a word that should be raised, or makes a word that should be raised into a noun, or changes the grammatical case of a word, thereby altering the wording of the verse, he should correct him. If the recitation becomes difficult for him, yes.
