The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the imamah of one who makes errors in the verses of al-Fatihah, changing the dhal to a zay in "Sirat al-ladhina an'amta 'alayhim," changing the dhal to a zay?
The Shaykh:
A sunnah with a ba.
The questioner:
Those who say "al-ladhina" with a zay.
The Shaykh:
So what is valid is what is valid; he recites in the colloquial dialect, he does not recite in the colloquial dialect, not in the dialect of Egypt or the dialect of so-and-so; he does not recite in the dialects, but in the Arabic in which the Qur'an was revealed, in the Arabic tongue. And the one who does not do that well does not lead people in prayer; he does not become an imam. Yes.
