Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
Ayatollah Al-Uzma Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
If the person was ignorant and negligent, they must repeat or make up the prayer. If they were merely ignorant, their prayer is valid, and they are not required to perform the prostration of forgetfulness, according to the more correct opinion.

Ayatollah Al-Uzma Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
1) If this was done with the belief that it is correct, it does not affect the validity of previous prayers, but they must perform the prostration of forgetfulness for each instance.
2) The ruling for the ignorant who believes it is correct is known, while for the negligent, their prayer is deemed invalid.
