The ruling on the ma'mum who remained in prostration out of forgetfulness and did not stand up with the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person prayed behind an imam and prostrated with him, but he remained in prostration due to forgetfulness and did not stand up with the imam. When the imam said the takbir for bowing in the second rak'ah, the ma'mum realized and stood up from his prostration. He asks: What is obligatory for him?
Answer:
He follows the imam. It is obligatory for him to follow the imam, and he is excused for what happened to him, whether it was sleep, forgetfulness, or not hearing, because some people have weak hearing and perhaps he did not hear the imam. This person is excused, but he must follow the imam.
