What is obligatory for the imam if he forgets a verse from al-Fatihah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person is leading people in prayer, so he recited al-Fatihah, then he remembered that he had forgotten a verse, so he repeated the recitation of it. Is what he did valid?

Answer:
No, it is obligatory for him to repeat the verse; it is obligatory for him to recite the verse and what comes after it. He recites the verse and what comes after it, and he does not repeat the entire al-Fatihah a second time. Yes.
