Forgetting the prostration for forgetfulness and a long interval
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person praying forgets the prostration for forgetfulness and a long interval has passed, does he have to repeat the prayer?
Answer:
If a long interval has passed or his ablution is broken, the prostration for forgetfulness is dropped, and his prayer is valid. Except for the position of Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), who says it is not dropped even if a long interval has passed; if he remembers after days have passed, he prostrates once. This invalidates his prayer, but he prostrates once. The majority says no, his prayer is valid, and he does not repeat it after the salam because he has performed it.
