The ruling on the imam being reminded of a missed dhikr in the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The imam of a mosque said "Allahu Akbar" instead of "Sami' Allahu li man hamidah" (Allah hears the one who praises Him). So I reminded him by raising my voice and saying "Sami' Allahu li man hamidah." Is my action correct?
Answer:
But did he say "Sami' Allahu li man hamidah" when you reminded him? If he said it, the purpose was achieved. If he did not say it, then he has left an obligatory act, and he must perform the prostration for forgetfulness. As for you, there is no harm in reminding him; there is no prohibition. This is a type of dhikr that is said in the prayer, "Sami' Allahu li man hamidah," being among the dhikr of the prayer. So if you recite it aloud, there is no harm.
