Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh (may Allah grant you success) says: He says: An imam made a mistake and forgot a rak'ah, so one of the ma'mum spoke up and said: Add a rak'ah, O imam. He says: What is the ruling on the prayer of this ma'mum?

Answer:
If he did it intentionally, his prayer is invalid. However, if he was ignorant or forgot and spoke up, his prayer is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
