Darulifta Ahlesunnat
(Dawateislami)
Question
What do the religious
scholars and Muftis of Shari’ah say about the
following issue: if one forgot to add a Surah after reciting Surah Al-Fatihah
which is Wajib to do and instead remembered in Ruku’
for which the ruling is that he must return and complete the recitation, what
is the importance (of this returning), as in is it necessary and Wajib to
return or not?
بِسْمِ اللہِ
الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
After the Fatihah, where it is Wajib to recite the surah, if it is not
recited forgetfully and is remembered in Ruku’ or Qawmah, then it is Wajib to return, recite the Surah, redo
the Ruku’ and perform the prostration of
forgetfulness (Sajdah al-Sahw) at the end. This way,
the Salah will be complete. Whereas, if one does not return, despite
remembering it in the Ruku’, then it will be Wajib to
repeat the Salah due to deliberately leaving out a Wajib act, and Sajdah al-Sahw will not suffice; and be mindful that if one does
return, but does not repeat the Ruku’ after
completing the recitation, then the Salah will be null and void because it is
obligatory (Fard) to perform Ruku’ again.
