The prostration for forgetfulness for omitting the loud recitation in the Maghrib prayer, and when it is obligatory

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Does forgetting to recite aloud in the second unit of the Maghrib prayer require the prostration for forgetfulness? And if we did prostrate, is there anything required of us? When is the prostration for forgetfulness obligatory for us?

Answer:
Yes, if one omits a recommended practice of the prayer, it is recommended for him to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, but it is not obligatory. Reciting aloud is one of the recommended practices of the prayer in Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr. If one omits reciting aloud in a prayer where recitation is done aloud, it is recommended for him to prostrate for forgetfulness. If he does not prostrate, he owes nothing. The prostration for forgetfulness is performed either before the closing salam or after it. If the omission is due to a deficiency in the prayer, it is performed before the salam. If it is due to an addition in the prayer, it is performed after the salam. This is a matter of what is more preferable. Otherwise, if he prostrates before the salam or after the salam in either case, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
