Praying behind someone who has difficulty pronouncing certain letters

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on praying behind a person who has difficulty with his speech?

The Shaykh:
First, what is the issue.

The questioner:
What is the ruling on praying behind a person who has difficulty pronouncing certain letters correctly, and this is beyond his control? For example, he recites "like scattered seeds" but says "like scattered seeds" with a sin, knowing that this man memorizes most of the Qur'an and is a man of prayer. If praying behind him is not valid, does the one who prayed behind him have to repeat the prayer, knowing that he recites al-Fatihah correctly?

The Shaykh:
If he recites al-Fatihah correctly, the rest is a recommended practice (sunnah). If he did not recite anything beyond al-Fatihah, his prayer is valid. However, he should be replaced by an imam who recites the Qur'an well, who recites the Qur'an well. As for if he recites al-Fatihah and the error is in the rest, then even if he did not recite anything after al-Fatihah, the prayer is valid. Yes.
