Leaving the First Tashahhud and the Prostration for Forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May you be in good health. A question, O long-lived one. One of our students prayed the 'Asr prayer tonight. Yes, and at the first sitting he was in a state of confusion. I say, we wanted to sit in the first sitting, but he did not sit in the first sitting. He did not continue the prayer; when he completed the four rak'ahs and performed the second tashahhud, after he performed the tashahhud and before he said the taslim, he performed the prostration for forgetfulness, one rak'ah of prostration for forgetfulness. Is this permissible, is it valid or not? Good.
Answer:
This is valid. If he prostrated for forgetfulness at the time of the taslim, that suffices for his forgetting the first tashahhud.
The presenter:
Good. Another question. Thank you, my dear brother. May Allah reward you.
