Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When a person is in a prayer where the recitation is loud, and he did not recite loudly out of forgetfulness, and he did not remember until the second rak'ah, what is required of him in this regard?
The Shaykh : If he does not remember that he recited quietly in the first rak'ah until the second rak'ah, let him recite loudly in the second rak'ah. As for the third or fourth rak'ah, if the prayer is 'Isha', he does not recite loudly, because there is no loud recitation after the first tashahhud. However, it is recommended for him to perform the prostration for forgetfulness due to leaving the loud recitation, because loud recitation is a recommended practice (sunnah). If a person leaves it out of forgetfulness, let him prostrate for it on the basis of recommendation, not on the basis of obligation.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
