Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man did not complete the recitation of al-Fatihah in the prayer and then bowed. Is he required to repeat it?
The Shaykh:
A man.
The questioner:
A man did not complete the recitation of al-Fatihah in the prayer and then bowed.
The Shaykh:
If he is the imam or praying alone, the rak'ah in which he left it is invalid, and the one following it takes its place. Then he comes and builds upon his prayer, completing it, completing it, completing his prayer, and prostrates for forgetfulness. But if he is a ma'mum, the imam's recitation suffices him, even if he bowed before reciting al-Fatihah or before the ma'mum completed it; the imam's recitation suffices him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
And if he did not remember until now, if he did not remember until now, or did not know the ruling until now, he has to repeat the prayer, because one of its rak'ahs is not valid, so he has to repeat the prayer in full. Yes.
