Question:
Sami asks your eminence: If I am sitting in the mosque and a group is praying next to me, and the imam makes a mistake and no one corrects him, should I correct him?
Answer:
There is no harm in it. If someone is praying and you are sitting, and the Qur'an becomes confused for him, you clarify it for him, even if you are not praying with him, even if you are sitting. Yes.
