The answer

A Muslim is permitted to recite the Quran using any authenticated (mutawatir) recitation (qira'ah) they wish, as all of them are valid, and they are not obliged to adhere to a specific one. It is also permissible for them to combine different recitations during recitation, except in verses whose meanings are interconnected. If an impermissible combination occurs outside of Surat Al-Fatiha during prayer, the prayer is not invalidated, and there is no sin in it if it was not intentional. The Imam should limit himself to the common recitation in his country for fear of confusing the worshippers. It is out of piety not to lead the prayer if one cannot avoid the impermissible combination, especially if there is someone else who can lead the people.
