The questioner : Your Eminence, if there are people who are traveling, for example, and the imam is also traveling but he forgets and completes the four-unit prayer instead of the two-unit one, does the follower follow him?
The Shaykh : They follow him, but it is obligatory for the follower, when he stands for the third unit, to recite the remembrance of Allah (tasbih) in it. Then it is obligatory for the imam to return and perform the prostration for forgetfulness after the closing salam. Do you understand?
The questioner : Yes.
