Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Ahh. He says: I entered the prayer with an imam, then it became clear to me that he does not recite al-Fatihah well and that he makes errors in it. Is it obligatory for me to repeat the prayer?
Answer:
If he makes errors in it that change the meaning, then you repeat the prayer. But if his errors do not change the meaning, there is nothing wrong with it; the prayer is valid. Yes.
