Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. His last question in this message says: He forgot to recite al-Fatihah in the first rak'ah, and he remembered it when he was in the final tashahhud. What should he do?
Answer:
He missed a rak'ah. He stands up and performs a rak'ah in its place before he says the taslim. He performs a rak'ah in place of the rak'ah in which he did not recite al-Fatihah. This is if he was praying alone or if he was the imam. But if he was a ma'mum, then if he forgot, the imam bears it for him. Yes.
