English:
Question #725:
What is my shar‘ī duty when I see someone performing some acts of prayer wrongly?
Answer #725:
If he is ignorant about the prayer parts and terms which if performed wrong do not harm the validity of the prayer, you are not required to inform him. However, if it concerns the prayer parts and terms which if performed wrong , even out of ignorance, they invalidate the prayer and make it necessary to repeat it, like wuḍū’, ghusl, timing, rukū‘ or sujūd, then one should inform him about the correct ruling.
