He who begins the prayer by saying (Allah is the Greatest, the Knower of the Non-existent and the Existing) instead of the Takbir
What is the ruling for someone who begins the prayer by saying (Allah is the Greatest, the Knower of the Non-existent and the Existing) instead of the Takbir?
Answer
It is not correct for him to start the prayer; because it resembles the speech of people, and the speech of people is not part of the prayer. See: Al-Bahr Al-Ra'iq 1: 324, and Radd Al-Muhtar 1: 483.
