Is it obligatory to repeat the Dhuhr prayer as four rak'ahs or the Friday prayer as two rak'ahs for someone who prayed behind an Imam who made a mistake in Al-Fatiha, knowing that each congregant will pray individually?

If a congregation performs the Friday prayer (Jumu'ah) without the sermon (), they must repeat the Jumu'ah prayer within its time. If its time has passed, they must repeat it as a Dhuhr prayer. The sermon is a pillar for the validity of the Jumu'ah prayer, just as Al-Fatiha is for the prayer.
