Reciting Al-Fatiha is a pillar of prayer, and it must be recited correctly and free from melodic errors (lahn) that alter its meaning. Therefore, it is obligatory to recite it in its proper order, with the correct emphasis on elongated letters (mushaddadah), without any melodic error that changes the meaning. If a letter is omitted, or a mushaddad letter is lightened, or one letter is substituted for another, the recitation is invalid. Continuity between its words is also obligatory.
