Question
I made a mistake in my prayer, and I was required to perform the prostration of forgetfulness. I finished the prayer and forgot to perform the prostration of forgetfulness. Is my prayer valid?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The prayer is valid but incomplete due to the omission of an obligation, and the prostration of forgetfulness compensates for it. However, due to the lack of prostration for forgetfulness, it remains incomplete, and it should be repeated to compensate for this deficiency. And God knows best.
