The answer

We have detailed the pillars of prayer, its obligations, acts, and disliked acts in No. 36002.

As for the errors of those praying and the muezzins, they are many and vary according to individuals. Some of them may be subject to scholarly disagreement due to differing opinions on the authenticity or contradiction of hadiths, such as placing the knees before the hands in prostration, performing Qunut in Fajr prayer, and placing the hands on the chest after rising from bowing.

Among the common errors are: negligence in purification, not completing bowing and prostration, fidgeting during prayer, lack of devotion (khushu'), and not maintaining congregational prayer.

As for the errors of the muezzins, they include: not verifying the correct times for the , excessive elongation of sounds, adding phrases that are not authentically reported like "Hayya 'ala Khair al-Amal" (Hasten to the best of deeds), or not pronouncing the letters correctly.
