Ruling on Reciting al-Fatihah Again When a Verse Is Forgotten
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a person says that he leads people in prayer. He recited al-Fatihah, then remembered that he had forgotten a verse, so he recited it again. Is his action valid? And is it obligatory for him to perform the prostration for forgetfulness?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to recite the verse he forgot and the verses following it, building upon his previous recitation. He does not repeat the entire al-Fatihah; he repeats the verse he forgot and what follows it for the sake of maintaining the order of the verses. He also performs the prostration for forgetfulness. Yes.
