Does the deliberate repetition of the letter 'Ra' in 'Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim' invalidate the prayer?

The repetition of the letter 'ra' does not change the meaning; therefore, intentionally repeating the 'ra' in the words (Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim) is a type of recitational error that does not change the meaning, and the prayer is not invalidated by intentionally doing so.
