QUESTION: Here, many people make the mistake of prolonging “akbar” and they say “akbaar”. I already advised imams about this. If I hear an advised imam do this mistake or a follower who is far away, but says it loudly, or even a child, should I break my prayer to tell them to say correctly, as I heard it changes the meaning into a meaning of disbelief
