Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: When is the prostration for forgetfulness performed if one doubts in the prayer? Is it before the closing salam or after it?
Answer:
The prostration for doubt is performed after the salam. If he performs the entire prostration before the salam, that is permissible. If he performs it entirely after the salam, that is permissible. The disagreement is only regarding which is more preferable. What is due to a deficiency is performed before the salam because it is a completion of the prayer. What is due to doubt or an addition in the prayer is performed after the salam because it is a suppression, as came in the hadith, and it is not due to a deficiency in the prayer. Yes.
