The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The questioner : Shaykh, a situation arose in a congregational prayer where our imam recited Surat al-Fatihah but forgot the verse:[Al-Fatihah 1:5].
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And none of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) reminded him.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : After he finished the prayer, he became aware of this, but he had no knowledge of the ruling in this matter. What is the ruling in this case?
The Shaykh : He should have performed an additional rak'ah and prostrated the prostration for forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw). Since he did not do so, and you did not do so either, you must repeat the prayer.
The questioner : Yes, on the basis that the entire Surat al-Fatihah is obligatory?
The Shaykh : It is a pillar of the prayer.
The questioner : Yes, yes. May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
