Is it true that the Hanafis and Shafi'is say, "The follower prostrates for the imam's forgetfulness but does not prostrate for his own forgetfulness"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Third, the Hanafis and Shafi'is say that the follower prostrates for the imam's forgetfulness but does not prostrate for his own forgetfulness. Is this correct?
Answer: Yes, it is correct. The follower does not prostrate for his own forgetfulness because the imam is the guarantor; he bears the responsibility for what the follower behind him may forget. Therefore, the follower should not prostrate for a forgetfulness that occurred in his prayer behind the imam when the imam has already concluded the prayer.
