Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. If two instances of forgetfulness occur in the prayer, one requiring prostration before the closing salam and the other requiring prostration after the closing salam, which takes precedence and what is the ruling in that case?

The Shaykh : The one that is more apparent is given precedence.

The questioner : Yes

The Shaykh : Who is the questioner? Where is he? Is there anything wrong? Do not be afraid, questioner?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : The second row? Are there questions from the second row? Well, in any case, if two causes for the prostration of forgetfulness coincide, one of which is due before the closing salam and the other is due after the closing salam, the scholars say that the one due before the closing salam takes precedence. An example of this is a man who forgot the first tashahhud and prostrated three times. The first cause: when is his prostration? He forgot the first tashahhud and prostrated three times. The first cause is prostration before the closing salam, and the second cause is prostration after the closing salam. So he prostrates before the closing salam. The one due before the closing salam takes precedence. This is what the scholars said.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : The one before the closing salam takes precedence because it is earlier. Yes, that is sufficient. Yes.
