The questioner:
If the imam recites a surah and then does not know how to complete it, or forgets it, and then recites a surah after it in the same rak'ah, thereby deviating from the order in a single rak'ah, is the prayer invalid?
The Shaykh:
To begin with.

The Shaykh:
He is to follow the order, and he does not recite anything before it; he does not recite anything before it in a single rak'ah. As for if he recites after it, this is what the order requires. If he starts a surah and is unable to proceed in it, and then recites the surah that follows it, there is no harm. But he does not recite the surah that comes before it. Yes.
