Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does this evidence, O Khalid, contradict what the brother mentioned regarding the fact that in the case of deficiency, the prostration is performed before the taslim?
The Shaykh : As for what he said about the deficiency involving a prostration before the taslim.
The questioner : My question is: does it contradict or not? I am not asking you about his statement; does it contradict or not? Say no, or otherwise yes?
The Shaykh : How did I not understand you?
The questioner : I say the brother stated that in this case, one prostrates before the taslim, because the rule is that what is due to a deficiency is before the taslim, and the hadith, as explained to me, indicates that one prostrates after the taslim. So, does this hadith contradict the rule or not?
The Shaykh : No, no, there is no rule.
The questioner : It does not contradict you.
The Shaykh : Yes, how? Because this man who said the taslim before completing his prayer added the taslim to his prayer.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So the addition of the taslim occurred during the prayer.
The questioner : So it is not a deficiency.
The Shaykh : No, but except
The questioner : Okay, did you understand? This is not due to a deficiency; in reality, it is an addition, because he said the taslim during the prayer, so he brought an addition. Clear? Okay.
The Shaykh : As for what he said about the deficiency involving a prostration before the taslim.
