Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If he does not remember whether he recited it or did not recite it.
The Shaykh : In short, he is the reciter. The default assumption is that he recited it. The apparent situation is that he did not bow down without reciting. We fear that if we say the default is non-recitation, the door of obsessive doubt will open for him, and he will begin to doubt every time he recites.
