Can Someone Who Is Not in Salah Notify the Imam of a Mistake?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by DarulIftaBirmingham

Answered by: Shaykh Ahmed Bin Mohamed Umarji

Question:

If I’m praying Taraweeh can someone who is not in namaz listen to me and when I get a mistake just cough to notify me I have made a mistake.?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

If you accept the correction, your salaah and the salaah of all the followers will be invalidated.1

In this case, it would be best for them to identify you with the mistake after the completion of the two rakats.

Only Allah knows best
