The ruling on the prayer of one who stands for the fifth rak'ah out of forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions that reached us, this brother says: The imam of the mosque prayed the midday prayer with the congregation and stood up for the fifth rak'ah. They prostrated with him, but he did not notice, so the people stood up with him. Does he make up for that with two prostrations for forgetfulness? What is the ruling on the prayer? And what is the position of the worshippers in that?
Answer:
It is valid because they did not do it intentionally. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
