The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I forgot to recite al-Fatihah in the second rak'ah of the 'Asr prayer. What is obligatory for me?
The Shaykh:
He must perform a rak'ah, because this rak'ah is invalid; he left out one of its pillars. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
He performs a rak'ah after the taslim. If he does not remember Allah after a long time, he repeats the entire prayer, because it was not valid. Yes.
