Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Is it permissible for a worshipper to alert someone other than his imam if he makes a mistake in something? For example, if the person next to you moves a lot and distracts you, are you allowed to alert him?

Answer : The answer is yes, he may alert him. Because this is part of correcting his prayer. In fact, even if it is solely to correct his brother's prayer, there is no harm in it.
