Muqtadi committing a makrooh action intentionally
Question
If the follower (muqtadi) intentionally omits a necessary action (wajib) or intentionally commits an action that is prohibitively disliked (makruh tahriman) while praying behind the imam, is it necessary (wajib) for him or her to repeat the prayer? Things like leaving out at-Tahiyyaat, or reciting behind imam, reciting at-Tahiyyaat twice etc.
Answer
It is impermissible for him to do such a thing, and this will cause his salaah to become deficient. However, the salaah will be valid and sajda-e-sahw will not be compulsory upon him.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
Q: Such person must he repeat the prayer to make-up the deficiency?
A: He will not have to repeat his Salaah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
