Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah protect the Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person prays alone and forgets the second prostration of the second sitting of the first rak'ah, what is the ruling on this rak'ah? He says: A man prayed a rak'ah and forgot to prostrate again.
Answer:
Yes, he goes back and prostrates. If he remembers that he deliberately stood up, he goes back and prostrates, because he left out a pillar of the prayer, so he goes back and prostrates. However, if he has already begun the recitation, the first rak'ah is void, the second rak'ah takes its place, and he completes his prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
