What is your opinion of the one who says, "The one who does not apply the rules of recitation in prayer, his prayer is considered invalid"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some people say that the one who does not apply the rules of recitation during his prayer, his prayer is considered invalid, because the rules of recitation—let us say the basics of them—are obligatory. How valid is this statement?
The Shaykh : As for them being obligatory, he is correct. But as for his saying that his prayer is invalid, he is wrong. Because invalidating a prayer in which all its pillars and conditions are present is not permissible to rule as invalid except with evidence from the Shari'ah, and there is no such evidence.
The questioner : Yes, in another question, if you please.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : If we reach the point of burdening, we stop.
