Praying Behind an Imam Who Recites in the Colloquial Dialect

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on praying behind an imam who recites in the colloquial dialect that distorts the Qur'an, such as reading "al-'alamin" as "al-alamin" and "na'budu" as "na'budu"? If everyone in that region speaks with the same dialect,

Answer:
meaning that he uses his dialect for certain letters and does not pronounce the letter fully, there is no harm in praying with them. This is their dialect, and this is their capability. It is not valid to pray a prayer, I did not understand. Yes.
