Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the imam forgets a prostration during his prayer and one of the praying people says to him, "Subhan Allah," and the imam does not understand, then another person says, out of his ignorance, "You forgot the prostration." Is there anything on this ignorant person? And is he required to assist?
Answer:
If he is ignorant, then there is nothing on him, but he should be taught and it should be clarified to him, and he is excused for his ignorance. However, if he intentionally speaks during the prayer, it is invalidated. Yes.
