The ruling on the imam returning to those who made a mistake in his prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the imam is certain in his prayer and two trustworthy people indicate that he made a mistake, is it obligatory for him to return to them?
Answer:
If he is not certain of the correctness of his own action, then it is obligatory for him to return to them. If he does not return, his prayer is invalid. However, if he is certain of the correctness of his own action, believing that he is right and that those who indicated the mistake are wrong, and he is right, then if he is in this state, he proceeds based on what he is certain of, and his prayer is valid, but he performs the prostration for forgetfulness. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
