Does the recitation of Al-Fatiḥah become invalid by not emphasizing the letter Ghayn, for one who finds difficulty in emphasizing it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The letter Ghayn is one of the seven letters of tafkheem (emphasis), and not emphasizing it in Al-Fatiha or elsewhere does not invalidate the prayer. One should strive against the self and abandon the obsessive doubts concerning the pronunciation of letters.
