The questioner : Is it permissible to return from one pillar to another?
The Shaykh : How is that?
The questioner : For example, if one forgets and stands up after the second tashahhud thinking it is the first, then remembers after standing up that it is the second tashahhud, and then sits for the pillar, which is the first taslim?
The Shaykh : This is like the first case. When a person remembers that he is in an extra unit, it is obligatory for him to return and complete the prayer as previously mentioned, then perform the taslim, then prostrate twice for forgetfulness, and then perform the taslim.
