Correcting and re-reciting a mistake that would invalidate the Salaah

Q: According to the book Halabi Kabir p. 480: 

Is the invalidity of salaah lifted when a mistake that would invalidate the salaah, is re-read correctly?

A: There are two opinions in regard to this mas'ala. One opinion is the Salaah will immediately break. The second opinion is that if the reciter was corrected, the Salaah will remain valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

وإن لحن القاري وأصلح بعده       إذا غير المعنى الفساد مقرر

ذكر في الفوائد لو قرأ في الصلاة بخطأ فاحش ثم رجع وقرأ صحيحا قال عندي صلاته جائزة (الفتاوى الهندية 1/82)
