Adding an alif in “نَسْتَعِينُ”

Question

In Surah al-Fatiha “نستاعين” is recited instead of “نَسْتَعِينُ”; in reciting the last verse of Surah al-Duha, “وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ” (93:11), an alif is added after “رَبِّكَ”; and in Surah al-Ma‘un “طَعَامٍ” is recited as “طُعَامٍ”. Does the prayer become fasid (invalid) because of this or not?

Answer

The prayer does not become fasid because of these mistakes; nevertheless, correcting them is also necessary.
