The Details of the Question
Does a mistake made while reciting a surah, either praying alone or in congregation by an imam, invalidate the prayer? The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
If such a mistake in reading does not spoil the meaning, it will not harm the prayer. However, this reminds us again the importance of learning the Qur'an or at least the short surahs that are read in prayer carefully and correctly. This is so important that, according to the sect of Shafii, not uttering a shaddah (doubled consonant) in surah al Fatiha causes great harm to the prayer.
