The ruling on one who stands for the third rak'ah in the shortened prayer out of forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a person led the people in the 'Isha' prayer in Mina, shortening it, and he forgot that he was a traveler with respect to the prayer, so he said
The Shaykh:
he committed a sin.
The questioner:
He led the people in the 'Isha' prayer in Mina, shortening it, and he forgot that he was a traveler with respect to the prayer. He stood for the third rak'ah after the tashahhud, and the ma'mums who were waiting for the taslim did not stand with him; they kept saying "Subhan Allah." The imam did not know what had happened and forgot the shortening. Then he suspected that he might have left out a prostration, so he went back and prostrated the third prostration. In the middle of that, he remembered the shortening, so he sat down, recited the tashahhud, performed the prostration for forgetfulness, and said the taslim. Is his prayer valid? What is the ruling on one who stands for the third rak'ah while intending to shorten the prayer? And what is required of him?
The Shaykh:
His prayer is valid.
