The ruling on one who forgets prostration in the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: If I forget a prostration in the first rak'ah and do not remember it until I begin the second rak'ah, should I perform another rak'ah before the final tashahhud, or after it before the taslim?
Answer: If you remember the prostration before you begin [the next action], you perform the prostration. If you prostrated once and then realized that you thought you had prostrated the second time, then you notice and prostrate the second time without standing up. Even if you did stand up, you return and perform the second prostration. This applies whether the ma'mumun alerted you or you noticed it yourself, whether you are the imam, a ma'mum, or praying alone; you return and perform the prostration. However, if you have already begun the recitation, you continue your prayer and add a rak'ah in place of the invalidated rak'ah. You add another rak'ah in place of the rak'ah in which you left the prostration, as if it did not exist. You perform the prostration for forgetfulness if you are the imam or praying alone. You perform the prostration for forgetfulness if you are the imam or praying alone. But if you are a ma'mum, when your imam says the taslim, no, you stand up and perform a rak'ah in place of the rak'ah in which you left the prostration, and then you say the taslim. You do not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness because you followed the imam from the beginning of the prayer. As for if you were... a masbuq by one or two rak'ahs, you complete [the prayer] and perform the prostration for forgetfulness after completing it. And if you were with the imam from the beginning of the prayer and forgot the prostration, not remembering it until you were standing with the imam for the recitation, then you perform a rak'ah after the imam's taslim, and you do not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness because you entered the prayer with him from the beginning, so he bears the prostration for forgetfulness on your behalf. Yes.
