Question:
If a da'iyah (caller to Islam) or the imam of a mosque recites a hadith to his congregation from memory and makes a mistake in its text by transposing, delaying, omitting, or adding, does he sin for that?
Answer:
He does not sin for that, but he must ensure the accuracy of the hadith he intends to recite to the people. If he is reciting it from memory, he must master it through memorization and precision. Yes.
