Question:
This questioner says: O Shaykh! I recited al-Fatihah instead of the final tashahhud in the Zuhr prayer with the congregation, but I realized that I had made a mistake and recited the tashahhud again. Should I perform two prostrations, the prostration for forgetfulness, after the imam finishes the congregational prayer? Or what should I do?
Answer:
It is sufficient if you recited the tashahhud, and praise be to Allah. You do not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness; the follower follows his imam, and he does not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
