Does a man have to repeat his prayer if he prayed behind an imam who does not settle down in prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Do you mean that they are not ordered to repeat the prayer?

The Shaykh : As for what has passed, they were ignorant of the matter, so they are not required to make up what has passed. This is why the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order this man to make up what had passed. However, once knowledge reaches them and they pray after knowing that his prayer is invalid, they are required to make up the prayers they performed.
