The ma'mum prostrating for recitation while uncertain about the imam's prostration

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The imam prostrated for the prostration of recitation, and the ma'mum was uncertain whether it was a prostration or not. He also intended to prostrate, but he saw those around him bowing, so he bowed. He was not ignorant, but he was uncertain about it. He completed his prayer after the imam stood up, and completed his prayer as the imam did?

The Shaykh:
It appears that he owes nothing, if he did not know what was required of him, he owes nothing.

The questioner:
He had no ignorance, and...

The Shaykh:
His imam was... one who follows in the prostration of the salam did not know that he prostrated.

The questioner:
Meaning, he owes nothing, he owes nothing.

The Shaykh:
If Allah wills, he owes nothing. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah bless you.
