Question:
If the imam makes a mistake in the obligatory prayer regarding the verses, is it permissible for the ma'mum to hold a mushaf behind him?
Answer:
He should alert him and recite for him, just as Ubay recited for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and others.
Q: So, is it permissible for the ma'mum to hold the mushaf?
A: No, he does not need a mushaf. If he memorizes it, there is no need for a mushaf that would distract him from his prayer. He recites from his memory, and if he makes a mistake, it does not harm him. If he makes a mistake and omits a verse, it does not harm him. The important thing is al-Fatihah.
