Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, it is common when traveling for a man to stop at one of the villages and pray, and the imam in that village recites "Alhamdulillah Rabb al-Alamin" with a kasrah on the lam, so I respond to him and he does not respond. Should I intend to pray alone, or should I repeat my prayer, or what should I do?
Answer:
Yes, your prayer behind him is not valid, and the prayer of anyone who is proficient in reciting al-Fatihah is not valid behind him, because this is a mispronunciation that changes the meaning. So you must repeat the prayer and alert the congregation. You tell them that this does not make the prayer behind him valid, because he mispronounces it in a way that changes the meaning. Yes.
