The Ruling on Correcting the Imam

Question
Is it permissible for the follower to correct the imam if he makes a mistake or forgets?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to correct the imam's recitation, although it is preferable not to interrupt him except out of necessity, so as not to disturb the people's prayers and their humility. And God knows best.
