Question:
This questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who doubts the number of rak'ahs during his prayer?
Answer:
If he doubts the number of rak'ahs, he must build upon the lesser number, which is certainty. So if he doubts whether he prayed three or four, he makes it three and performs the fourth so that he exits the prayer with certainty, and he prostrates for forgetfulness.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
