Making a mistake in tashahhud

· 2 Rabiʻ II 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

During tashahhud one says "..as salaamu alayna ayyuhan nabiyyu" instead of "..as salaamu alayka ayyun nabiyyu". Does this mistake invalidate salaah?

Answer

No, it will not invalidate the Salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
