The Prostration for Forgetfulness in Case of Doubt in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it difficult to pay attention after months of staying up late to look at his prayer, relying on the purity of the Worshipped?

Answer:
No, if he experiences doubt, he should perform the prostration for forgetfulness, because this doubt is a type of forgetfulness, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
used to say, "If you are uncertain in the prayerيقول إذا شك أحدكم في صلاته
Muwatta Malik 3:67
so he should prostrate.
