Incorrect pronunciation in tashahhud
Question
I have one major problem during salaah and that is that I cannot pronounce in the tahiyyaat the last letter (n) of the word " as saliheen" especially during the first tashahhud. So I keep repeating it, until I manage to pronounce it. If I will recite it as "as salihee" without the last letter "n" would that be also valid and the meaning still correct? Or should I recite like "as salih" without "een" at the end, like the tanween we do not recite at end of ayaats?
Answer
You should recite the complete word with the noon.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
