Should the Dhuhr prayer be repeated if the imam was found to be mispronouncing Al-Fatihah during the Maghrib prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your prayer is not invalidated if, after the prayer, the worshipper discovers that the Imam was in a state of ritual impurity (hadath) or omitted Al-Fatihah, because these are matters that are hidden. Your Dhuhr prayer is valid, and you do not need to repeat it.
