Is it permissible for me to alert the Imam if he makes a mistake in reciting the surah during a loud prayer by raising my voice with the correct verses, and am I sinful if I remain silent?

It is permissible for someone who is not praying to correct the Imam if he makes a mistake in the prayer, and there is no harm in that. Similarly, there is no sin upon him if he does not do so, because correcting the Imam in this situation is permissible, not obligatory.
