Correcting and re-reciting a mistake that would invalidate the Salaah

· 12 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

According to the book Halabi Kabir p. 480:

Is the invalidity of salaah lifted when a mistake that would invalidate the salaah, is re-read correctly?

Answer

There are two opinions in regard to this mas'ala. One opinion is the Salaah will immediately break. The second opinion is that if the reciter was corrected, the Salaah will remain valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
