The ruling on one who forgets the sitting between the two prostrations and stands up
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If the imam prays and forgets the sitting between the two prostrations, then stands up, and the followers recite the glorification of Allah, does he go back, or does he complete the prayer and perform an additional unit?
Now, this man left the sitting and the second prostration, so he must go back, even if he has recited al-Fatihah, and even if he has bowed,Meaning: if they did not remind him until after he had risen from the bowing in the second unit, he must go back, sit, then prostrate, then stand up and complete his prayer. But if he reached the sitting between the two prostrations in the second unit, the second unit becomes the one before it and takes its place,Because if we were to say to him now: go back, he went back and sat,So the important thing is, take the rule or the criterion: If a person forgets a pillar of a unit, he must return to it whenever he remembers, unless he reaches its place in the second unit, in which case the first unit is annulled and the second takes its place. So if he reaches its place in the second unit, he intends that this is for the first unit.
