Question:
If you are in prayer and you doubt that you forgot a verse, or that you made a mistake in a verse, what is obligatory for you?

Answer:
If it is from Surat al-Fatihah, you must be certain. So if you doubt a verse, you repeat it; you repeat the verse you doubted whether you read it or not, so that you perform the pillar with certainty, because reciting Surat al-Fatihah is a pillar of the prayer. But if you doubt the recitation of a verse other than Surat al-Fatihah, that has no effect, because the recitation in addition to Surat al-Fatihah is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. Yes.
