Qiraat

Taking a breath after every Aayat

Q:

1. When reciting surahs in salaah, does one have to t​ake a breath after every verse or can they just pause slightly and go onto next verse.

2. What if they stop and take a breath on a part they should not and carry on reading. Like in Surah Fatiha, I sometimes take a breath just before 'ghair ril maghdoobi alaihim' even though there is no pause there. Is my Salah ok in both cases?

Doubts in Surah Faatiha

Q: In my 'Asr Salaah I recited a verse of Surah Faatihah and whilst reciting I thought I made a mistake, and thought I'd repeat that verse and I didn't
stop reciting until I finished the verse, and then I recited again, but during the verse in which I thought I made a mistake, I was like “Shouldn't I stop?" But I carried on until finishing that verse; now I wonder, does this count as a purpose addition in prayer by finishing the verse in which I thought to have made a mistake? And is my Salaah valid?
