Q 3: Sometimes,
I forget to recite out loud in the first Rak‘ah (unit of Prayer) of a Jahri Salah (Prayer recited out loud), and I only remember about it in the second Rak‘ah.
Should I recite out loud in the second Rak‘ah only or should I continue to recite subvocally? Do I have to perform Sujud-ul-Sahw (Prostration of Forgetfulness) or should I repeat the whole Salah?
A:
The Sunnah (action following the teachings of the Prophet) is to recite Al-Fatihah and whatever is recited after it from the Qur’an out loud in the first two Rak‘ahs of the Maghrib (Sunset), ‘Isha’ (Night), and Fajr (Dawn) Prayers, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to do so. If you forget to do so in the first Rak‘ah, do it in the second, and you do not need to perform Sujud-ul-Sahw for forgetting to recite out loud in the first Rak‘ah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
