Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person who does not pronounce the letters correctly, such as some non-Arabs, prays, is it permissible for him to be an imam? And is the prayer valid behind him?
Answer:
As for making him an imam, no. If he changes the letters, he is not to be made an imam. But if it happens once and the people are praying, and if you leave them, you will miss the congregation and pray alone, then pray with them. Yes.
