Best of you

42. "The best of people in recitation are those who when they recite, you see that they fear Allah." [Bayhaqi, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

29. A nomad said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ “Advise me.” And he ﷺ said, “If a man defamed you with what he knows about you, do not defame him with what you know about him. For the sin is against him.” The nomad said, “I never abused any person after that.”

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

Praying behind one that is not proficient in reciting the qur'aan

 


Question:

Is it correct (to say) that if the salaat is lead by one who is not proficient in reciting the qur'aan, in the presence of one who has memorised more than him, that their prayer (i.e. the congregation who are behind him) is not valid?
Answer:

It is a must that we know the meaning of our statement 'not being proficient in reciting the qur'aan'.
If the intent is that he not a 'fine' reciter then the salaat is sound.

As for if the meaning of him not being proficient, is that he makes the type of mistakes that change the meaning and perverts the words, then yes the prayer is not sound behind him with the presence of one who is more proficient in his recitation.
