The questioner : A man sitting in the final tashahhud of an obligatory prayer, and after finishing the tashahhud, he began the taslim from the left out of forgetfulness; what is the ruling on the prayer? And what must he do?
The questioner : His prayer is valid, because starting with the right is only better, as long as he does not intentionally contradict the Sunnah by starting from the left; if he intentionally does that, his prayer is invalid.
But he says in the question that he was forgetful, and on this basis, he owes nothing, neither the prostration for forgetfulness nor the invalidation of his prayer.
