The ruling on one who forgets what he recited in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person prays and does not remember what he recited in the first or second rak'ah, what is the ruling on his prayer?
Answer:
If that is after the end of the rak'ah or after he has finished it, it does not harm him, yes. It is only if it is in the middle of it and he doubts whether he recited al-Fatihah or did not recite al-Fatihah, that he must repeat it, unless he has waswas (obsessive doubts), in which case he should leave that and build on his assumption that he recited it, and praise be to Allah. As for if that does not occur to him, does something incidental occur to him where he hesitates, did he recite al-Fatihah or did he not recite it? He recites it. But after he has finished it, if the doubt occurs to him, he should not pay attention to it; this is from waswas (obsessive doubts). Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
