Question: As salaamu alaykum,
In Salah,is the prostration of forgetfulness required if one repeats verses due to pronunciation errors? (Hanafi School)
Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
You should not be repeating verses due to pronunciation errors. For the most part, such non-deliberate errors are completely excused. Further, even reciting with correct tajwid is not a requirement in the Hanafi school. Focus on your recitation outside of the prayer, and recite verses once within it.

And Allah Most High alone knows best.
