What is the ruling on my prayer and the ruling on the لحن (melodic/grammatical error) that occurred from me in reciting the Tashahhud, and is this considered among the manifest لحن (al-lahn al-jali) that invalidates the prayer?

The final is a pillar of prayer according to the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools. The word "At-Tahiyyat" must be recited therein. Dropping the shaddah (gemination mark) or opening the letter Haa’ (instead of kasra/i-vowel) is considered a linguistic error (lahn) that invalidates the meaning and renders the prayer unsound according to this . Nevertheless, repetition of the prayer may not be obligatory if the error occurred due to ignorance. It is incumbent upon a Muslim to learn the rulings of purity (tahara) and prayer to correct their acts of worship.
