Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. An imam forgot a verse from Surat al-Fatihah and did not repeat it. The questioner says: I returned home and prayed the prayer again. Is my action valid?
Answer:
It is valid for you, but as for him, you must alert him. Their prayer was not valid, because if he leaves out a verse from Surat al-Fatihah, his prayer is not valid, nor is the prayer of anyone behind him who knows about it. So you must alert the imam to make up for what happened. Yes.
