Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, if a person adds a rak'ah to his prayer, does he recite al-Fatihah in the standing, the bowing, and the prostration of the added rak'ah?
Answer:
The extra rak'ah is not counted. If he stands up for an extra rak'ah and then remembers while he is in it, he must sit down immediately. He must sit down immediately and not continue in the extra rak'ah. Rather, he sits, performs the tashahhud, and prostrates for forgetfulness. Yes.
