Some mu'adhdhins say "Allahu akbar" with a waw; does this invalidate the adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some mu'adhdhins, when saying "Allahu akbar," use the letter waw instead of the alif, saying "Allahu akbar." Does this invalidate the adhan?

Answer:
No, this does not invalidate the adhan. Most of these people are common folk, and they do not contradict the ruling, if Allah wills. Yes.
