Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on praying behind one who does not recite al-Fatihah well and insists on leading, when there is someone better than him to lead the worshippers?
Answer:
If he makes errors in al-Fatihah that change the meaning, his leading is not valid except for someone like him. As for if the error is slight and does not change the meaning, the prayer behind him is valid, but it is obligatory to choose an imam who masters al-Fatihah and is skilled in recitation. Yes.
