The answer

The prayer of one who drops a letter from Al-Fatihah is invalid, unless he is unable to pronounce it. In this case, his prayer is valid for himself, but it is not permissible to follow him in prayer except for someone like him (who also drops letters due to inability).

We should note that the hamza of "ihdina" (اهدنا) is a hamzat wasl (connecting hamza), which is dropped when connecting, and pronounced when stopping at the word "nasta'in" (نستعين).
