The ruling on leading prayer for one who does not recite al-Fatihah correctly
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The honorable Shaykh! One of the imams, when reciting al-Fatihah, sometimes says (Ihdina) and sometimes says (Ahdina). What is the ruling on praying behind this imam?
If he says (Ahdina), the prayer is invalid; because (Ahdina) means: give us a gift, so the meaning changes. It is obligatory for this imam to recite with the correct recitation; if he cannot, let him leave the position for someone else.
The questioner: When this was discussed, he said: I say (Ihdina), but sometimes my tongue says (Ahdina)?The Shaykh: We tell him: It is obligatory for you to pay attention and correct your tongue!!
