Is it better to place the prostration for forgetfulness before the closing salam, because some of the congregation stand up to complete what they missed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the place of the prostration for forgetfulness, and whether it is before the salam or after the salam, there is a difficulty for the imam and the congregation if it is after the salam, such that some of them stand up to complete what they missed. So, is it better to make it all before the salam?

Answer:
No, the best is that it depends on the details, and the one praying behind the imam should not rush. The one praying behind the imam is the one who made the mistake, so why does he rush to stand up? He should wait, perhaps he has a prostration due on him. He should not rush; when he says, meaning, if he stands up when the imam reaches the second salam, his prayer is invalid if he stands up before the imam completes the second salam. So the one praying behind the imam should not be hasty. Yes, and as mentioned to you previously, if the one praying behind the imam prostrates while he has not relied on standing, if the imam prostrates and the one who joined late has not relied on standing, he must return to prostrate with the imam. Yes.
