In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh

In principle, a person who is out of ṣalāh cannot correct the one in ṣalāh. Therefore, if the musallī’ (the one performing ṣalāh) erred in recitation and is corrected by someone outside of ṣalah, the ṣalāh of the musallī will become invalid if he accepts the correction.[1]

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.
