The ruling on one who forgets to recite after al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person forgets and does not recite a surah after al-Fatihah when he prays, does he have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, or is his prayer invalid?
Answer:
No. There is no blame on him; he forgot the surah, because it is recommended, not obligatory. The obligatory part is al-Fatihah. So if he forgets the surah and bows, he owes nothing. And if he prostrates, there is nothing wrong with it, but he is not required to do so. Yes.
