Recitation according to Ibn Mas'ud's reading in the context of fasting three consecutive days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to recite according to Ibn Mas'ud's reading in the prayer regarding the phrase
and fasting for three daysوصيام ثلاثة أيام
consecutively?

Answer:
No, this is not authentic; its chain of narration is not sound, meaning it contains weakness. Therefore, it is not recited in the prayer. However, it is used as evidence; those who hold that the three days in the expiation must be consecutive use it as evidence, and there is no harm in that. As for reciting it in the prayer, it is not recited in the prayer. Yes.
