The Imam's Mistake in More Than One Place in Prayer
I prayed the Asr prayer with someone who recited aloud in two rak'ahs, and in the third rak'ah, he sat for the Tashahhud, so I said Subhan Allah. He immediately stood up and performed the fourth rak'ah. After the final Tashahhud, he prostrated for forgetfulness, and I had not completed the final Tashahhud, so I prostrated with him and said the Salam. What is the ruling on the loud recitation? What is the ruling on the prostration for forgetfulness? What is the ruling on my not completing the Tashahhud?
Answer
He should have been pleased with reading, and because he left it, he was required to perform the prostration of forgetfulness, and he did the forgetfulness, and this is correct. Following your imam in forgetfulness, even if you did not complete the testimony, is correct. And Allah knows best.
