The prostration for forgetfulness for one who forgot al-Fatihah and began reciting a surah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one forgets to recite al-Fatihah and begins reciting a surah after it, then remembers and recites it, does this invalidate the prayer due to forgetfulness?

Answer:
Yes, prostrate for forgetfulness. Regarding the recitation of al-Fatihah, if he recited a surah and then remembered and recited it before bowing, he prostrates for forgetfulness, because it is a forgetfulness regarding a pillar in its place.
