The ruling on praying four rak'ahs with a single taslim in the voluntary prayer of the day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A man prayed the voluntary prayer after the midday prayer, intending to pray four rak'ahs, two by two. However, he stood up after the tashahhud in the first two rak'ahs. The question is: Does he go back and say the taslim, or does he complete the four rak'ahs and say the taslim once?
Answer:
He has a choice. If he stands up to a third rak'ah in the voluntary prayer of the day, he has a choice: if he wishes, he goes back, recites the tashahhud, says the taslim, and performs the prostration for forgetfulness. If he wishes, he continues and prays four rak'ahs, and he does not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, because it is permissible in the day to pray a voluntary prayer of four rak'ahs with a single taslim. Yes.
