Does saying "Ameen" after Al-Fatiha interrupt the consecutive recitation if an error in reciting one of its verses becomes apparent?

Saying "Ameen" when in doubt about reciting a verse from Al-Fatiha does not invalidate the continuity of Al-Fatiha, and therefore the recitation is sufficient and the prayer is valid. Ibn Qudamah mentioned that interrupting the recitation of Al-Fatiha with a minor remembrance does not break the recitation, citing Ahmad's action of asking for mercy and seeking refuge when encountering verses that mention them.
