Question

I did not know the rulling of hamzat al wasl in sura fatiha

I said ” iyya kana budua iyya kanastainu ihdinas sirotal mustakim”

in one breath in salat.

I found out that the correct recitation is

“iyya kana budua iyya kanastainuh dinas sirotal mustakim”

are my previous salat valid if I recited like this?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Your previous salah are valid.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
