The imam's voice cut out during the first prostration on Friday, and we did not hear him until the second rak'ah, so we performed the prostration for forgetfulness

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In the Friday prayer, while we were praying in the first rak'ah, when the imam prostrated the first prostration, the loudspeaker cut out, so we did not hear him until he was reciting al-Fatihah in the second rak'ah. So we stood up with him immediately and completed the prayer, and we performed the prostration for forgetfulness after the taslim. He says: Did we do it correctly?

Answer:
No, it does not compensate for the prostration. The prostration is a pillar of the prayer, and the prostration for forgetfulness does not compensate for it. So you must perform a complete rak'ah. After the imam says the taslim, you perform a complete rak'ah. This is making up the missed prayer, and then you say the taslim. If, when you did not hear the imam's recitation, you had prostrated and then stood up and caught up with the imam, the requirement would not have been met. Your prayer would have been complete. Yes.
