Reciting A Small “haa” Instead Of A Big “Haa”
Question
If an Imaam reads سمع الله لمن همده, is the Salaah valid?
Answer
In the queried scenario, the Salaah will be valid. However, the Imaam should try to pronounce the letters correctly from their proper Makhraj. If he is unable to pronounce the letters correctly, then such an Imaam should not lead the congregation if a better reciter is available. [Re: Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah Vol:11 Pg:182]

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
