Repeating the Prayer Behind an Imam Who Makes a Major Mistake in the Fatiha

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for me to repeat the prayer if I prayed behind an imam who makes a major mistake in the Fatiha?

Answer:
Do not pray behind him. If he makes a glaring error in the first rak'ah, do not pray behind him, and it is not permissible for him to be the imam when there is someone who recites better than him. Yes.
