The manner in which the prostration for forgetfulness is obligatory
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it a condition for the imam in a four-rak'ah prayer to perform the prostration for forgetfulness as soon as he stands up, or when he reaches the standing position?The Shaykh: Do you mean an addition?The questioner: Yes, an addition.
The Shaykh: An addition is not established unless you reach the pillar that follows the one from which you stood up.For example: If a person stands up in a four-rak'ah prayer intending to stand for a fifth, but remembers before he fully stands, he should sit down and there is no prostration for forgetfulness required of him; because he did not move to the next pillar.
