Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sometimes, while I am praying, when I sit between the two prostrations, I want to say the reported supplication for that moment, but I recite the tashahhud by mistake. Is the prostration for forgetfulness obligatory on me for this? I ask you to issue a ruling, may Allah reward you. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, if one says a prescribed phrase in a place where it does not belong, such as reciting the tashahhud during prostration, or saying "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High" during bowing, or "Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great" during prostration, or the like, then the prostration for forgetfulness is not obligatory on him, but it is recommended for him. It is recommended for him to prostrate for forgetfulness. If he prostrates for forgetfulness in this case, that is better, and if he leaves it, there is no blame on him.
