The ruling on forgetting the second prostration of the first unit of prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We have with us a shaykh. A questioner says: If a person prays alone and forgets the second sitting of the first unit of prayer, what is the ruling on this unit?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He says: A man prayed one unit of prayer and forgot to prostrate again.
The Shaykh:
Yes, he goes back and prostrates if he remembers. If he deliberately stood up, he goes back and prostrates. If you have entered a pillar of the pillars of the Fajr prayer, you go back and prostrate. However, if you have begun the recitation, the first unit is void; the second unit stands, whatever you do with it, and you complete your prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh,
