A man forgot several times in prayer; how many prostrations does he perform for forgetfulness?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man forgot several times, leaving out "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" in the bowing, "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" in the prostration, and saying "Sami' Allahu li man hamidah" while forgetting.
The Shaykh : How, my lady? According to the author's view. Why? Give the reason.
The questioner : Because he left out things that necessitate the prostration for forgetfulness, and one prostration suffices for them, just as if he ate donkey meat and became ritually impure.
The Shaykh : Because the causes are multiple. Yes?
The questioner : We have the causes.
The Shaykh : For a single cause, fine. Multiple causes, and multiple causes do not necessitate multiple effects, just as if he urinated, defecated, passed wind, ate camel meat, and slept; five states of impurity, and one ablution suffices for him.
