Is Tajwid a Condition for the Validity of Prayer?
I heard some people saying that Salah (ritual Prayer) is invalid unless one recites Surat Al-Fatihah with 100% correct tajwid (recitation of the Qur’an with precise articulation and exact intonation). My native tongue is Arabic, and I can pronounce words in a right way but without tajwid, unlike the recitation of the sheikh who leads us in Prayer. So, is my Salah valid? In other words, is it obligatory for me to learn tajwid?
