Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I delayed the first tashahhud due to forgetfulness, and I was alerted by the congregation. Do I have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness?
Answer:
If he is the imam and he delays beyond the first tashahhud, he prostrates, and those behind him prostrate with him. As for the ma'mum, there is no prostration for forgetfulness required of him; the imam bears it. If he was praying alone and forgot, delayed, and was alerted, meaning he prostrates for forgetfulness.
