Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a person praying forgets the second prostration of the second unit of prayer and does not remember it until after he has finished the prayer, what is the ruling in that case?
Answer:
The ruling is that he has left a complete unit of prayer, so he must stand up and perform a complete unit of prayer, and prostrate for forgetfulness. He performs a complete unit of prayer, then sits for the final tashahhud, recites the final tashahhud, then says the taslim, and prostrates two prostrations for forgetfulness. If he prostrates the two prostrations for forgetfulness before the taslim, there is no harm, but it is better to make them after the taslim. Yes.
