Alerting the ma'mum by recitation or gesture
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Yes. What? Is the alert by recitation or by action? If he is close, and the imam is in front of him, he can say to him, "Sit down," or signal with his hand.
Answer : I mean, if it is not possible to alert him with the tasbih. Yes. Recitation is better, because recitation, as we said, is a prescribed dhikr in the prayer, but movement is not prescribed. However, if he does not have a verse in mind that suits the situation, do you understand? Then he may move forward if he is behind the imam, he moves forward, and if the forgetfulness is for a prostration, he turns his back, meaning he prostrates.
