What is the ruling on one who reads the words "prayer, zakat, life" in their plural forms "prayers, zakats, lives," claiming that this is what he sees in the Mushaf and that he commits no sin thereby, despite it being clarified to him that this is merely the orthography of the Mushaf and despite him being made to hear multiple audio recitations?

It is necessary to continue advising him with wisdom and gentleness, while also alerting the mosque's imam to advise him and others like him.
