The prostration for forgetfulness for one who joins the prayer late with the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some imams perform the prostration for forgetfulness after the closing salam. Then some of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) who missed some rak'ahs (units of prayer) stand up to make up what they missed without prostrating with him, some prostrate with him, and some sit down after standing up to complete the prayer with him. What is the correct ruling in these cases?
Answer:
If the imam has a prostration for forgetfulness to perform and he prostrates, then the ma'mum prostrates with him, even if he is one who joined the prayer late, and he does not stand up to make up what he missed until he has prostrated with the imam. If he stands up but has not fully straightened up, and the imam prostrates, then he returns and prostrates with him. However, if he has fully straightened up before the imam prostrates, then he does not return at that time. Yes.
