Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the one praying forgets in his prayer and prays two rak'ahs, or three, then says the taslim and stands up, and after a while he remembers that he left his prayer incomplete, does he repeat the prayer?
Answer:
If he remembers soon, he completes it and performs the prostration for forgetfulness. If he remembers soon, meaning he said the taslim after two rak'ahs in the Zuhr or 'Asr prayer, and then remembered soon, he completes it and performs the prostration for forgetfulness after the taslim. This is obligatory. It is a recommended practice (sunnah) that his prostration be after the taslim, as that is better. If he prostrates before the taslim, there is no harm. However, if the interval is long and he does not remember until the interval has become long, he must repeat the entire prayer. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
