Question:
The last question from our sister says: In the Fajr prayer, I forgot to recite a surah after al-Fatihah, so I prostrated for forgetfulness after the taslim. Is what I did correct?
Answer:
There is no blame on you for that, but recitation after al-Fatihah is not obligatory; al-Fatihah is sufficient. However, reciting a surah after al-Fatihah, or verses, is better. If a person leaves it out, he owes nothing. If he prostrates, there is no blame, if he left it out ... out of forgetfulness; then he owes nothing.
And if he prostrates for that reason, there is nothing wrong with it; there is no blame in that; because it is a recommended practice (sunnah). He prostrated for leaving it out, but it is not obligatory; because the obligatory thing is only al-Fatihah, and what is added is a recommended practice (sunnah). Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
