Ruling on one who adds a bowing in his prayer by mistake
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The sister (W. A.) from al-Zulfi sent a question saying: I prayed the midday prayer, and when I bowed in the fourth unit and rose from the bowing and intended to prostrate, I went back and bowed again. Then I remembered and prostrated. Do I have to repeat the prayer?
Answer: You do not have to repeat it. You must perform the prostration for forgetfulness, because you added a bowing by mistake. So after finishing the tashahhud and the supplication, you prostrate two prostrations for forgetfulness. You prostrate two prostrations like the prostrations of the prayer, saying in them: Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, Glory be to my Lord, the Most High. And you sit between them just as you sit between the two prostrations, saying: My Lord, forgive me, My Lord, forgive me, between the two prostrations. Then you say the closing salam. This is what is required of you. And likewise, if you add a prostration, or if you add a fifth unit in the midday, night, or afternoon prayer, or a fourth in the sunset prayer, or a third in the dawn prayer by mistake, and then you remember, you prostrate for forgetfulness. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
