Discussion on the prostration for forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If the brother would tell us when the prostration is performed after the taslim while you are standing.
The student: The prostration after the taslim is when one is in doubt and builds upon certainty.
The Shaykh : Is it not the case that if one is in doubt and builds upon certainty, it is after the taslim?
The student: Before the taslim.
The Shaykh : Where is your heart?
The student: ... it seems more likely to me.
The Shaykh : If he is in doubt.
The student: Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : What?
The student: He builds upon certainty.
The Shaykh : ...
The student: He acts on what is more likely in his view.
The Shaykh : If he is in doubt and has something that is more likely in his view, he builds upon the more likely position and prostrates.
The student: Before the taslim.
The Shaykh : Do not teach me, my brothers, and you taught me incorrectly as well.
The student: If he is in doubt and we tell him.
The Shaykh : What is the more likely position in your view?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : He said the more likely position is such-and-such. If he says, "I do not know," well, what does he build upon?
The student: He builds upon the lesser number.
The Shaykh : The lesser number, and he prostrates.
The student: After the taslim.
The Shaykh : Before the taslim; he prostrates before the taslim.
The student: ... at the institute, because he takes 55 percent of it and 45 percent of it remains.
The Shaykh : ... write your phone number on it. Write your phone number on it and be patient.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : The important thing is that it is not permissible, it is not permissible. As long as you are prohibited from extra lessons, do not study. Yes.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Now it is time for questions, because I think you have understood, if Allah wills, the issues of the prostration for forgetfulness. A question has reached me saying: "I wish you would write something on this." And it is written in a small booklet; yes, he wrote in it the rulings of the prostration for forgetfulness and its evidence. Yes, very well. Yes.
