I led the prayer and forgot to say the takbir aloud when bowing, but I remembered while I was bowing and said it aloud. Is my action valid?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I led the prayer and forgot to say the takbir for bowing aloud, so I said it quietly. Then I remembered that I was the imam, so I repeated it aloud while I was bowing. He says: Then I performed the prostration for forgetfulness after the taslim. He says: Is my action valid?

Answer:
Yes, if you said it aloud in order to make it heard by the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam), there is nothing wrong with that, and you do not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness. Because the obligatory thing is that you make the ma'mum hear you so that they bow with you. You have fulfilled the obligation upon you; you do not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness in this case. This is part of completing the role of the imam.
