Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I prayed behind a man who alters some of the letters in Surat al-Fatihah. What is the ruling on the prayer?
Answer:
What? You prayed behind a man who alters the letters in Surat al-Fatihah. What kind of alterations? We cannot give a ruling unless he provides an example or two of the letters he changes. However, in any case, his prayer is not valid except with someone like him; as for someone better than him, he should not pray behind him.
