The questioner : May Allah reward you. A man added a rak'ah to his prayer, and then during it he remembered that it was an extra one. Should he sit, or should he complete it and prostrate for forgetfulness?
The Shaykh : If a person adds a rak'ah to his prayer, such as a third in Fajr, a fourth in Maghrib, or a fifth in a four-rak'ah prayer, he must sit as soon as he remembers, then complete the tashahhud and prostrate after the taslim.
