The ruling on one who forgets to recite al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Likewise, if he forgets al-Fatihah, does he perform another rak'ah to take its place? And does he perform sujud al-sahw?
Answer:
If he is a ma'mum, he owes nothing. However, if he is an imam or praying alone, he performs a rak'ah in place of the rak'ah from which al-Fatihah was omitted. As for the ma'mum, he is a follower of his imam; if he forgets or misses standing, what he catches up with the imam is sufficient for him.
