Question:
He says: I led the people in prayer and forgot a verse from Surat al-Fatihah. After the prayer, one of the brothers reminded me, and I confirmed that I had not recited a verse from Surat al-Fatihah, but we did not repeat the prayer. What is the ruling on my prayer and the prayer of the followers?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you, when they reminded you after the taslim, to stand up and perform a rak'ah. You stand up and perform a rak'ah in place of the rak'ah in which you forgot a verse from Surat al-Fatihah, because you left out a pillar. So it is obligatory that when they reminded you, you stood up and performed a rak'ah, then you prostrated for forgetfulness. If you did not do this, it is obligatory for you to repeat the prayer in full. Repeat the prayer in full, you and those behind you.
