The Ruling on Mispronunciation in Reciting al-Fatihah and Leading Prayer for One Who Mispronounces
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person mispronounces in the recitation of al-Fatihah, is his prayer valid? And what if he is the imam?
Answer:
If the mispronunciation changes the meaning, then it is not permissible for him to be an imam. As for if the mispronunciation does not change the meaning, there is no harm in it, for it does not invalidate the prayer. However, one should not be an imam unless he is proficient in recitation and free from mispronunciation. Yes.
