Question:
What does one do if he forgets a prostration in the middle of the prayer, for example in the third unit of the 'Asr prayer, and stands up to begin reciting al-Fatihah in the fourth unit? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The unit from which the prostration was omitted is considered invalid, and the unit that follows it takes its place. He completes his prayer on this basis and performs two prostrations for forgetfulness.
