Is it obligatory to repeat al-Fatihah if the imam recited it and made a mistake in it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the imam recites al-Fatihah and makes a mistake in its vowel movements, do I have to repeat the prayer?

Answer:
If the vowel movements change the meaning, the prayer is repeated. But if the change does not alter the meaning, it is a mispronunciation (lahn) that does not change the meaning, so the prayer is valid. Yes.
