Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He 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 reciting "al-'alamin" as "al-'alamin" (with a different pronunciation) and "na'bud" as "na'bud"? If everyone in that country has the same dialect,
Answer:
meaning that he lightens some of the letters due to his dialect, and does not pronounce the letter fully, there is no harm in your praying with them. This is their dialect, and this is their ability. It is valid to pray behind him (peace and blessings be upon him) if he deviates. Yes.
