Question:
Is there a prostration for forgetfulness in the regular voluntary prayers?
Answer:
The prostration is performed in both voluntary and obligatory prayers; the prostration for forgetfulness is performed in both obligatory and voluntary prayers. If one forgets in a voluntary prayer in a way that necessitates the prostration for forgetfulness, just as in an obligatory prayer—for example, if he doubts whether he prostrated twice or once, he prostrates the second time and then performs the prostration for forgetfulness. Or if he stands to pray two units and doubts whether he performed the second unit or not, he performs the second unit and then prostrates for forgetfulness.
