Saying ‘Allaahu Akbaar’ instead of ‘Allaahu Akbar’ in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. Please, I need a clarification on the ruling of saying ‘Allaahu Akbaar’ instead of ‘Allaah Akbar’ during prayer because I sometimes hear some people, while praying, occasionally say ‘Allaahu Akbaar’ instead of ‘Allaahu Akbar’. May Allah grant us Paradise.

Why Al-Albaani named pointing with index finger between prostrations innovation
In his Silsilah,Al-Albaani declared pointing between the two prostrations to be an innovation for two reasons.

Al-Albaani could not confirm that.. More

Harming others does not invalidate a person's prayer but might cause the reward to be lost
