Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the rationale for this distinction?
The Shaykh : The rationale is that the prostration for an addition during the prayer is due to the addition of time. For us, regarding the intention, what is the rationale for the fact that if one doubts about an addition at the time of the act, he must prostrate, but if he doubts after completing it, he owes no prostration. Yes.
The questioner : Because at the time of the act, he doubted about a part of his prayer, so it became obligatory for him.
The Shaykh : He was in doubt about a part of his prayer, so it became obligatory for him to prostrate to compensate for this doubt. Now, what if it is after?
The questioner : After completing it, his prayer was completed in the correct manner.
The Shaykh : If it is after that, then he doubted about the cause of the obligation.
The questioner : Due to the presence of travel. The presence of travel.
The Shaykh : And the default.
The questioner : The absence of 'Asr.
The Shaykh : The absence of what obligates the prostration. Did you understand, everyone, or did you not understand?
The questioner : Clear. Clear.
The Shaykh : You, hmm? Let us return to the lesson. If one doubts about an addition during the performance of the act, it is obligatory for him to prostrate, but if he doubts after its completion, he owes no prostration.
