If one forgets to recite al-Fatihah in a rak'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If the prayer is that of Muslim and Abu Fakahah, and he mentioned after his ruku' that he had raised his head in forgetfulness, but he had not.
The Shaykh:
The ruling is that he should raise his head from ruku', recite al-Fatihah, and recite after it a surah or whatever is easy for him, then return. He performs the pillar, which is reciting al-Fatihah; he returns and performs the pillar, because he did not enter into another rak'ah. As for if he had entered into another rak'ah, the first one would be invalid; the first one would be invalid, and he would stand in the second in place of it. But as long as he is still in the rak'ah in which he left off reciting al-Fatihah, he returns and starts it anew. Yes.
The questioner:
The Fajr prayer.
The Shaykh:
By analogy to touching the private parts, by analogy, for each of them has a private part. Yes.
