Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman who is illiterate is praying, and she has an illiterate woman who is praying, and she has mistakes in al-Fatihah, and she has been in this state for forty years. He says: I tried to correct those mistakes for her, but it is difficult for her to make that correction. So, is her prayer valid during that period?
The Shaykh:
If Allah wills, if she is unable to correct them, then she is excused for this. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
As much as you are able. Yes.
