The questioner:
He asks: Is it obligatory for the ma'mum to correct the imam if he makes a mistake in his recitation of the Qur'an?
The Shaykh:
If the imam pauses in his recitation, you should prompt him. But if he does not pause and continues, you should not prompt him, as that would cause him to repeat and would disturb him. Yes.
The questioner:
Even if he is on the minbar delivering the Friday sermon.
The Shaykh:
If the imam pauses and needs someone to alert him, he should be alerted during the Friday sermon. Yes.
