Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man caught up with one rak'ah of the 'Asr prayer with the congregation, then stood up and performed two rak'ahs and sat for the tashahhud, then performed a fourth rak'ah and said the taslim. Does he have to repeat his prayer because he sat in the third rak'ah?
Answer:
If he was ignorant or forgot, he repeats his prayer; his prayer is valid, and he is excused due to ignorance or forgetfulness. Yes.
