Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person forgets to recite al-Fatihah and realizes it before bowing, after he has already recited a surah from the last part of the Qur'an, does he recite al-Fatihah and then go back to recite a surah from the last part of the Qur'an, or is it permissible to change the order in this case?
Answer:
He recites it and then recites whatever is easy for him. He recites it and then recites whatever is easy for him, so that he performs the pillar in its proper place, which is standing. What was missed is not lost. However, if he bows, the pillar is missed in that rak'ah, and it becomes invalid. The rak'ah that follows takes its place. Yes.
