Is it recommended for the imam to recite in the prayers using recitations that are not known to the general public?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the recitations, there is, for example, a recitation that is unfamiliar to people, and if the imam recites it, it may cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), even though it is mutawatir (a mass-transmitted report), such as: with a zay instead of the Sirat.
The Shaykh : This is a known matter.
The questioner : And what about?
The Shaykh : Enjoining good and forbidding evil, if it leads to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), it is dropped.
The questioner : Ah, may Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
