Doubt in Completing the Final Tashahhud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, sometimes I become distracted in the final tashahhud.
The Shaykh:
Sometimes.
The questioner:
I forgot the final tashahhud, and I am certain that I recited some of the greetings, but I do not remember whether I completed them or not. What should I do? Do I repeat the prayer in its entirety, or do I resume from the part I am certain of?
The Shaykh:
No, you proceed with what you are certain of. You proceed with the tashahhud. If you are certain that you performed the tashahhud, did you perform it or not? You are certain of it before the taslim.
