Answer

(Fatwa: 1084/813/L=1431)

It is mentioned in hadith that one should recite سبحان ربى العظيم. It is against hadith to recite سبحان ربى الكريم it should not be done without a valid reason. However if someone is unable to pronounce ظاء and recites سبحان ربى الكريم in place of سبحان ربى العظيم it is allowed for him. However he should keep on trying to pronounce ظاء.
السنة فى تسبيح الركوع سبحان ربى العظيم الا إن كان لا يحسن الظاء فيبدل به الكريم لئلا يجرى على لسانه العزيم فتفسد به الصلاة كذا فى شرح در البحار فليحفظ فإن العامة عنه غافلون حيث ياتون بدل الظائ بزائ مفخمة (شامى : 2/198 باب صفة الصلاة)
