The Ruling on Mispronunciation in al-Fatihah That Changes the Meaning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh, he says: A layman led the people in prayer and mispronounced al-Fatihah until he read "al-'alameen" with a kasrah on the lam, saying "al-'alameen." The question is: Does his prayer and the prayer of those behind him become invalid, or not?
Answer:
Yes, this is a mispronunciation that changes the meaning, and a mispronunciation that changes the meaning invalidates the prayer, so they must repeat the prayer.
