Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If the imam of the mosque prays with a recitation different from that of the people of the town, and the congregation of the mosque does not know it, is this permissible for them?
Answer:
No, no, it is not permissible. A fatwa has been issued by the Permanent Committee on this matter, because it is not permissible for the imam to recite with a recitation other than that of the people of the town; because it confuses them. Yes.
