Question

Last week When Imam recited the sura after 'Sura Fatiha' he jumped few verses which is I didn't realize. But no one indicated to Imam. Later when Imam finish the prayer one brother came to me and indicated the mistake. Then we both together went to Imam and asked about this. He told us that he intentionally did it. He is a Shafi' Imam. Is it correct according to Shafi' madh-hub? If follower is Hanafi what should be done on this event?

Answer

The missing of verses in the Surah after Surah Faatiha does not cause any harm to the Salat. The Salaat is valid.
