The prayer of an imam who omitted the end of al-Fatihah and made a mistake in prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I heard the Shaykh, and then a question came up about a man who forgot to recite, saying, "By Allah, one verse after Surat al-Fatihah, then we ask for the last verses, yes. He mumbled. May Allah preserve you. The last verse, he bowed, and the people who were mumbling said, 'Subhan Allah,' the important thing is they got confused. Whoever was with the imam while he was continuing in the bowing, so he completed the prayer, so he gave him
The Shaykh:
what he did not recite of the end of al-Fatihah.
The questioner:
By Allah, you do not sit. And from the evil of Husayn if he did not recite well.
The Shaykh:
It does not cease, it does not cease.
The questioner:
More than that, I, O Shaykh, may Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh:
And there is no need for the notification.
The questioner:
But I called, and it got messed up in the end.
The Shaykh:
Other than the sound of the notification, it is not in its place, it is not necessary.
The questioner:
They got confused in the end, when he began the final tashahhud, he said the taslim and stood up saying, "Subhan Allah," so it is possible the salam was on the right, it is possible he said the salam on the left, so the last one said to him, "Prostrate," he prostrated one prostration, so they said, "What about the second prostration?" They said, "Subhan Allah," so is this prayer valid? And what is its ruling?
The Shaykh:
In any case, and he made a mistake, and he has no way to do it.
Another questioner:
In the end, we resorted to your right, the message you sent, so we did not find a notification in this manner about the pillars of the prayer that are present in the mosques?
The Shaykh:
The point is that if one omits a verse from some of the surahs after al-Fatihah, or some verses after al-Fatihah, it does not invalidate, because al-Fatihah is the pillar, and the rest is recommended,
Another questioner:
We have heard it dozens of times.
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in repeating it, they said the taslim, peace and blessings be upon him, and that is sufficient, and when he prostrated his prostration in ignorance, it does not harm his prayer,
