The Ruling on Reciting al-Fatihah Aloud and the Prostration for Forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah bless you. He says: I prayed as the imam in the 'Isha' prayer, and I recited the first rak'ah, then I moved to the second rak'ah and began reciting al-Fatihah quietly. No one alerted me, and I realized that I had not recited al-Fatihah aloud, so I repeated it aloud. After I completed the prayer, I performed the prostration for forgetfulness. Is my action correct?
The Shaykh:
If Allah wills, yes.
The questioner:
He also asks: When is the prostration for forgetfulness performed, before the taslim or after it?
The Shaykh:
It is permissible to perform it before the taslim or after it. Yes.
