Leaving a pillar of the prayer out of forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person leaves out a pillar of the prayer out of forgetfulness, is his prayer invalid? Or does he perform the pillar and prostrate for forgetfulness regarding its omission?
The Shaykh:
If he leaves out a pillar out of forgetfulness, the rak'ah in which he left it out is invalid, and the second rak'ah takes its place, and the first is nullified. He completes his prayer and prostrates for forgetfulness. That is, he considers the first as if it did not exist, as if he started anew from the second, and he completes his prayer and prostrates for forgetfulness. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And if he does not remember until after the taslim, he stands up and performs a complete rak'ah and prostrates for forgetfulness. Yes.
