The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) indicate that if I see a worshipper in a place where he did not perform the Sunnah or made a mistake in the Sunnah, that I should correct him while he is in his prayer?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Does the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud indicate that if I see a worshipper in a place where he did not perform the Sunnah or contradicted the Sunnah, that I should correct him in that matter while he is in his prayer?
The Shaykh:
If it is from the category of recommended acts, you correct him. But if it is from the pillars, or the obligatory acts, or the conditions, you make it clear to him that his entry into the prayer is not valid, and he starts over. Yes.
