The ruling on prostration for forgetfulness regarding the omission of audibility in the Maghrib prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last questioner says: Does forgetting to recite audibly in the second rak'ah of the Maghrib prayer require prostration for forgetfulness? And if I prostrated, is there anything required of me?

Answer:
It is recommended for one who omits a sunnah of the prayer from the sunnahs of the prayer to prostrate for it as prostration for forgetfulness. Reciting something of the Qur'an after al-Fatihah is one of the sunnahs, and likewise the audibility of recitation in the night prayers, meaning the Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr prayers. Audible recitation in these prayers is a sunnah. If one forgets and omits it, and prostrates for forgetfulness, that is better. And if he does not prostrate, there is nothing required of us.
