Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man prays with us and makes a mistake in al-Fatihah that changes the meaning, do I break off the prayer or what do I do?

Answer:
No, you intend to pray alone, you intend to pray alone while you are in prayer, you complete your prayer alone, yes.
