Reciting “ولا يجدوا” instead of “ولم يجدوا”

Question

If the imam performed the recitation and recited correctly the amount of one long verse or more — that is, the amount of the wajib recitation or more — is the prayer valid or not? For example, [he recited] “ولا يجدوا” instead of “ولم يجدوا”?

Answer

If the change was only this much, the prayer did not become fasid (invalid).
