Taking the lighter view when taking the stronger view is not possible

Question:
Is it permissible to adopt the lighter opinion if adopting the stronger opinion is difficult, for someone who forgets frequently due to old age, for example, who forgets to recite al-Fatihah in his prayer, and compensates for that forgetfulness with the prostration for forgetfulness, given that reciting al-Fatihah in prayer is obligatory, even though he initially considered it a pillar?
Answer:
Answer: No, a pillar in prayer is not dropped, and the prostration for forgetfulness does not compensate for it. If he does not recite al-Fatihah, the rak'ah is not valid, so he performs a rak'ah in its place, and the rak'ah in which he did not recite al-Fatihah is void, and he performs the prostration for forgetfulness.
