The latecomer who forgets and prostrates with his imam: is a second prostration obligatory for him?
If the latecomer forgets while with his imam and prostrates with him, does this prostration suffice for him, or is he required to prostrate again when he concludes the prayer?
He must prostrate. If the follower, who is a latecomer, forgets while with the imam and prostrates with him for the prostration of forgetfulness, it is obligatory for him to prostrate for himself at the end of his prayer. This is because his first prostration was solely for following the imam, so he must repeat the prostration.
And with this, this meeting ends.
Glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and praise be to You. We testify that there is no deity but You. We seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
