If one forgets a prostration, does he repeat the rak'ah or only the prostration, and does he perform the tashahhud after the two prostrations of forgetfulness?

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. Regarding the answer about the prostration in sujud, does he repeat only the prostration, or does he repeat the entire rak'ah?

The Shaykh : No, there is no necessity for that.

The questioner : ... only the prostration.

The Shaykh : But we have been going around the issue of repeating the prostration.

The questioner : Regarding the hadith of the man with the two hands, when he repeated the two rak'ahs, did he not perform the tashahhud until he had finished the taslim?

The Shaykh : No, I did not say that; it is not established.

The questioner : It is not established that he performed the tashahhud.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : But when ... the prayer ...

The Shaykh : I mean, he performs the tashahhud of the two prostrations of forgetfulness.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Is that not what you are asking about?

The questioner : He is asking about when he prayed the two rak'ahs.
Another questioner: In the tashahhud of the prayer itself.

The Shaykh : That is necessary.

The questioner : The tashahhud of the prayer itself.

The Shaykh : The tashahhud of the prayer is necessary, but what we denied is the tashahhud after the two prostrations. We did not say that some schools of jurisprudence hold that view, but it is not established.

The questioner : In the case of the prostration, I mean, only the prostration, in the case of the question, is it the one who forgot a prostration?

The Shaykh : But only the prostration.

The questioner : But the prostration and the two prostrations of forgetfulness?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : And he performs the taslim.

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
