The ruling on one who forgets the prostration for forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! If a person forgets the prostration for forgetfulness and then remembers after he has finished the prayer.
What should he do?
If a person forgets the prostration for forgetfulness until he has said the closing salam, he should perform the prostration. However, if a long interval has passed, it is dropped from him according to the majority of scholars.And the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He should prostrate whenever he remembers, even if an hour or two hours have passed; he should prostrate.But what appears to me: He does not prostrate if a long interval has passed. However, if it is four or five minutes, he prostrates and then says the closing salam.
