His Eminence the Shaykh: Regarding the prostration for forgetfulness due to addition, is it after the two taslims or after the first taslim?
The prostration for forgetfulness, if it is after the taslim, whether it is due to addition or due to doubt where one of the two matters is more likely;Because the prostration for forgetfulness after the taslim is for two things: if he added or doubted and one of the matters became more likely in his view and he proceeded based on that.
The questioner: But is it after the first taslim or after the two taslims?The Shaykh: Wait, I intend to comment on your statement: if it is due to addition;To clarify that it is for:- due to addition.
- due to doubt where one of the two sides is more likely.
The prostration for forgetfulness is performed after both taslims; because a person does not complete his prayer except with the two taslims.
The questioner: In travel, is it better for the traveler to shorten and combine, or to shorten only?The Shaykh: The recommended practice (sunnah) for the traveler is to shorten until he returns to his town, unless he prays behind an imam who completes the prayer. If he prays behind an imam who completes the prayer, it is obligatory for him to complete it.
As for combining, if he is in the midst of travel, combining is better. If he has stopped, leaving off combining is better. If he combines, there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner: Some travelers combine four by four! The Shaykh: No, this is a mistake. Combining four by four is for when a person is not a traveler.
