Returning for One Who Forgot the First Tashahhud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is it that returning is forbidden for one who forgot the first tashahhud if he has begun reciting al-Fatihah, but it is not forbidden if he has fully stood up, given that reciting al-Fatihah and standing in the prayer are both pillars?
Answer:
If he begins reciting al-Fatihah, he has begun the second pillar. As for one who has only begun standing, he has only begun one pillar. This is the difference between the two.
The presenter:
