The ruling on re-reading al-Fatihah when a verse from it is forgotten

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu Murad. He says: A person led the people in prayer and recited al-Fatihah, then he remembered that he had forgotten a verse, so he re-read it. Is what he did valid? And is it obligatory for him to perform the prostration for forgetfulness?

Answer:
No, he does not re-read the entire al-Fatihah. He reads the verse he forgot and what follows it in al-Fatihah; he reads it and what comes after it. As for what came before it, he builds upon it. And he performs the prostration for forgetfulness. Yes, he performs the prostration for forgetfulness. Yes.
