The prostration for forgetfulness.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the prostration for forgetfulness, when is it performed before the prayer and when is it performed after it? And if one omits it, is it permissible to perform it after the prayer?
Answer:
The answer: The prostration for forgetfulness is permissible before the closing salam and after the closing salam. However, it is better to perform it before the closing salam if it is due to a deficiency in the prayer, because it serves as a completion. If it is due to an addition in the prayer made out of forgetfulness, then it is better to perform it after the closing salam, because it is not a completion but rather a humiliation of Satan, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
