The Shaykh:
He invalidates the first rak'ah, and the second takes its place. If he remembers while bowing, he returns. If he remembers while bowing, he returns to standing, recites al-Fatihah, and makes up for it. Yes. But if he does not remember until after he has stood up for the second rak'ah, the first is invalidated if he does not remember until after he has stood up for the second that he did not recite the first, that he did not recite al-Fatihah; then the first is invalidated and the second takes its place, and he prostrates for forgetfulness. As for if he remembers before completing the rak'ah, he returns to standing and recites al-Fatihah. Yes. He says: Honorable Shaykh. For the forgetfulness. Yes.
