Error and Mispronunciation in al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does error and mispronunciation in Surat al-Fatihah invalidate the prayer? And if the error changes the meaning, for example
Answer:
If it changes the meaning, it invalidates the prayer, meaning it is not permissible for him to be an imam. As for the one who does not do well except this, he prays a valid prayer, and it is valid for him to be an imam for those like him who are similar to him in recitation. As for the one who is good at recitation, it is not permissible for him to pray behind him if his mispronunciation changes the meaning.
