Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And here we ask: if a person stands up to a fifth rak'ah in a four-rak'ah prayer and remembers after reciting al-Fatihah, what does he do? Does the left side accept it, my son? Does he go back or continue?
The student: He sits, he sits.
The Shaykh : Good, well done. If he stands up to an extra rak'ah, like a fifth in a four-rak'ah prayer, and then remembers, even after he has recited, we say: go back, sit, recite the tashahhud, and say the taslim. Then perform the prostration for forgetfulness. Do I say before the taslim or after it? After it. Why? Because this is an addition. Good.
