Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The imam of our mosque, when he recites Surat al-Fatihah, recites “not those upon whom Your anger is invoked, nor those who go astray” by pronouncing the letter ḍād as ḍād. We have advised him, but he did not respond.
Answer:
Do not be strict about this; the point of articulation for ḍād and ḍād is the same. Do not be strict about this, yes.
