Alerting the Praying Person to a Defect in His Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person completes his prayer without realizing that he missed something, and no doubt arises in his mind regarding it, is it permissible for the person next to him to remind him?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for the one who knows that he missed something in his prayer to alert him, whether he is in the prayer, such as in the 'Asr prayer, or outside the prayer, in the sitting. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you call to one another in your prayer, let the men say Subhan Allah and let the women clap." He should alert him. If he is outside the prayer, he greets him and says to him, "You have left a standing, you have left a prostration," for example. This benefits him regarding that. This is sufficient. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon His Prophet Muhammad.
