The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I prayed with an imam and I missed a unit of the prayer. I prayed with an imam and I missed a unit of the prayer. When he sat for the final tashahhud, the imam said the salam, and then he performed the prostration for forgetfulness after the salam. He asks: What should I do?

The Shaykh:
Or you should stand up to complete your prayer so that you prostrate with the imam; you follow the imam. Yes.

The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you: If I stand up, do I go back?

The Shaykh:
If you did not lean on something while standing, go back. But if you leaned on something while standing, do not continue. Yes.
