Q: I read a book called Umdat ul Islam written by Abdulaziz bin Hamidullah in Persian some 700 years ago that if one reads the word hamida of sami Allahu liman hamidah with the letter ه instead of ح the salaah becomes faasid. Is this correct, it was also written that if you read Allahumma salli, the word salli with a س and not a ص the salaah is faasid. 

The book in question is it a authorative book? It says also some strange things like that in Jami al Fatawa it is said that if a person makes zina with a animal the animal should be killed and burned, and the person should also burned or a wall should thrown on him.

Q: I am a student and I have my college where my entire day passes away. So I have to offer salaah in my college.
