The prostration for forgetfulness for one who forgot al-Fatihah and recited a surah after it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one forgets to recite al-Fatihah and begins to recite a surah after it, then remembers and recites it, does this invalidate the prayer due to forgetfulness?

Answer:
Yes, he performs the prostration for forgetfulness. If you forget to recite al-Fatihah and recite the surah, then remember and recite it before bowing, the prayer is invalidated, because it is a forgetfulness regarding the omission of a pillar. It is a forgetfulness regarding a pillar in its place. Yes.
