What is the ruling on the imam returning to the first tashahhud after he has fully stood up?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: I prayed in one of the mosques, and it happened that the imam forgot the sitting for the first tashahhud and stood up straight. The people behind him started reciting tasbih (glorifying Allah), so the imam returned and sat for the tashahhud, then stood up and completed the prayer correctly. What is the meaning of this? After we finished the prayer, a man stood up and said, "O people, your prayer is invalid because the imam returned from a pillar to a recommended practice, then he established the prayer and repeated it." What is the stronger opinion in this matter? One of them said, "The most severe ones." They say. Allah.

The Shaykh : Compound ignorance. What? It is more severe than simple ignorance. The compound ignorance is that a person does not know, and does not know that he does not know. This is a calamity. It is a person who issues a ruling on a matter about which he has no knowledge, neither from the Book of Allah, nor from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), nor from the statement of a scholar from whom he took it with certainty. So he issues a ruling based on something else. He misguides himself and misguides others. Have mercy on us and do not forget. I say. Far. If this. The earth.
The one who issued the ruling that the prayer is invalid and that it must be repeated has no evidence for that. And in a case like this, if the imam stands up from the first tashahhud until he is fully standing, it is forbidden for him to return. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). (peace and blessings be upon him). I. stood up from the first tashahhud one day. So they recited tasbih for him, and he proceeded and did not return. Yes. When he finished the prayer and the people were waiting for his taslim, he prostrated two prostrations and then said the taslim. So this. This is what is obligatory. If the imam stands up from the first tashahhud until he is fully standing, then his return is forbidden and not permissible. Do not worry. But if he returned, as in the case of this imam for whom they recited tasbih and he returned. And his supporters. He knew that his bowing was forbidden. Then his prayer is. invalid. Even if he did not know that he could. The prayer becomes invalid by that. As long as he knew. That his prayer is invalid. That his return is forbidden, then his prayer is invalidated. If he. does not know that his return is forbidden and thinks that it is obligatory for him.
And that if a person is reminded of the first tashahhud after he has stood up, it is obligatory for him to return, and if he returns thinking that this is obligatory, then his prayer is not invalidated and his prayer is valid, and all he has to do is prostrate for forgetfulness after the taslim for the addition he made, which is the standing. Welcome. This is the ruling of this issue. And with this. This occasion is our saying. That if a person knows the forbidden. The regular duty upon the believers. By its ruling, even if he does not know its punishment. With this. With this occasion I say. Ah. I am happy. I. About a man who had intercourse with his wife during the day of anger. And he is calling. In it that it is forbidden. No. But he does not know that he is required to pay an expiation for it. Oh Lord. Fasting, tying a neck, if he does not find it, then fasting two consecutive months, if he cannot do that, then feeding sixty poor people. May Allah have mercy. So do we say this man is not required to do anything? Because they. are ignorant, and Allah the Exalted said:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
. I am a person.
It is said that this man is obligated to pay the expiation because he intentionally committed the sin, and whether he is obligated to pay an expiation or not is a matter for Allah and His Messenger, it is reported to him, he is obligated to obey, and not to be bold. With the forbidden, so if he is bold with it, he is obligated to what follows from it, whether he knew it or not. And based on this, we say that this man who had intercourse with his wife during the day of Ramadan and he knows that it is forbidden, he is obligated to pay the expiation, even if he does not know the obligation of the expiation, because he was bold with the sin with knowledge, so he is not excused. The parallel to that. If a man named, and may Allah forgive you, a woman. A man committed zina with a woman and he is muhsan. Meaning he is married. And he had intercourse with his wife and was muhsan, then he is obligated to be stoned with stones until he dies, no, no, no. He is slaughtered in the seventh, he is stopped before the people and small stones like a date or similar are taken and he is stoned with these stones until he dies, this is the asceticism. For example, if he said. Yes. He knows that it is a settled matter. Yes. But he did not know that its punishment is stoning, if he knew that its punishment is stoning, he would not have committed zina, we say this is not an excuse, so the hadd is carried out on you, because you committed the sin, and you did not fear Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and what follows from your action is a matter for Allah, and it is not a condition that you know the punishment, the important thing is that you know the ruling, so if you proceed with the thing while knowing its ruling, you are obligated to what it requires. Also show us with it. And as for the Hereafter, it has two blessings.
As for the brother's question, he says: If a man has intercourse with his wife during the day of Ramadan and he is traveling, then we say there is no harm on him in that, because the traveler is permitted to break his fast by eating, drinking, and having intercourse, so there is no harm on him in this and no expiation, but he is obligated to make up a day in place of the day he broke his fast, and the woman. Yes. The woman is the one who initiated. So it became if she was driven out. If the woman is resident and the husband is traveling, it is not permissible for him to have intercourse with her while she is fasting, because it invalidates her worship, and she is obligated to refrain from him.
