Title: Regarding validity of salah due to mistake in recitation of surah

Question: During salah in the fourth ayath of Surah Kafirun I used to read 'wala anaa' instead of 'walaa ana'. Recently only I came to know that the alif in 'ana' is not pronounced. Would this mistake change the meaning and is my salah valid. Do I need to repeat my salah?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 09/33/B=03/1440)

It is written as ‘anaa’ but it is read as ‘ana’. There is no difference in meaning. All your salahs which you offered with ‘anaa’ are valid without any doubt; there is no need to repeat them.

Q. As salamu aleykum, I was wondering what Mullah Ali al-Qari says in his Sharh on Mishkat about the Hanafi position of lowering the finger when saying ''ill Allah'' in the Tashahhud. Does he say that the finger must be completely dropped onto the thigh (so that it touches the thigh) or must it slightly lowered (so that the finger is still in the air) ? Also what does other Hanafi scholars beside al-Qari say onto this matter ? Also can you tell us who the first person within the Hanafis was wo said that the finger must be raised at ''la ilaha'' and dropped at ''ill allah'' ? Was salaam 2283 views
