Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: An imam of a mosque reads the words of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Fatihah 1:5], with a sad, meaning he reads "Nas 'Ayn." Is it permissible to pray behind him?
The Shaykh:
If you are certain that he is changing the sin to a sad, he should be pointed out to this so that he may correct his recitation, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Because the sin is close to the sad, you might hear it and think it is a sad when it is not, so you must be certain of this.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The questioner says: An imam of a mosque reads the words of Allah the Exalted,
