Prostration of Forgetfulness
Three Reasons:
Increasing: Does an extra bowing, prostration, standing, or sitting.
Decreasing: For example not doing an obligation from the obligations .
Doubt: For example one doubts whether they are on the 3rd or 4th unit. It is of two types: After one has completed the worship: This should not be paid attention to unless one is 100% certain. Within the act of worship: If the person often doubts , it should not be considered. If it is a little, one should act on that which is more certain. If both are equally doubtful, one should act upon the lesser number. Notice: -If one doubts in the Prostration of Forgetfulness, there is nothing upon the Muslim and the prayer is correct. -If one forgets a pillar, one must go back and complete it and everything which comes after it, then prostrates for forgetfulness. -If one forgets an obligation and passes it place, s/he should prostrate for forgetfulness.
