Answer:
Imam record prayer
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world
and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble
efforts in the propagation of the Truth.
If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister
get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves
indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful
to serve in His Cause. We hope, beg, and
pray the Merciful Lord accepts our humble and weak efforts, forgives us our
shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the
Hell Fire. Ameen.

Although it would be best and closest to the Sunnah that
the person praying or leading the prayer congregation concentrates completely
on their prayers, the mere touching of a on/off switch of a recorder is not
something which would invalidate one’s prayer.
If the ‘imam’ leading the prayer wishes to record his
recitation for any reason whatsoever, it would be better if he starts the
recording before he declares the ‘takbeer’ to start the prayer, and closes the
recording after he has declared the ‘tasleems’ to signal the end of
prayer. But if for any reason, the
‘imam’ chose to press the on/off switch on the recorder during the prayers, that
by itself would not invalidate his prayers. And Allah Alone Knows Best.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
