Question:
This questioner from Yemen asks: Is it disliked to pray behind someone who does not recite well—meaning: the recitation of Surat al-Fatihah?
Answer:
If no one else is available, there is no harm; pray with him. If his mispronunciation does not change the meaning, if it is a light mispronunciation that does not alter the meaning, then there is nothing wrong with praying with him. But if it changes the meaning, he must be removed; he must be isolated from the mosque if he does not understand and has not learned. He is to be removed from the mosque, and his case is to be reported to the responsible authorities so that he is replaced by someone who recites well. Yes.
