The questioner : Shaykh, a man was standing in place of the Fatiha and recited the tashahhud. He did not remember until he was prostrating. What is his obligation? Is his prayer valid?
The Shaykh : Remember what?
The questioner : He remembered that he recited the tashahhud while standing in place of the tahiyyat, instead of the Fatiha, for example.
The Shaykh : Meaning he did not recite the Fatiha?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : In which rak'ah?
