Forgetting the Number of Rak`ahs<\/em> while Praying<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Question:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

What is the ruling of forgetting the number of rak`ahs<\/em> (unit of prayer) while making sujud<\/em> (prostration) in my prayer<\/a>?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In the name of Allah<\/a>, we praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, you have to know that forgetting the number of rak`ahs<\/em> that you have prayed does not invalidate your prayer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather, if you forget how many rak`ahs<\/em> you have prayed, you go on the assumption that you have prayed the least number that you are certain of. For example, if I am unsure whether I have prayed two or three rak`ahs<\/em>, then I assume that I have only prayed two and then complete my prayer based on that assumption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of prayer and before making tasleem<\/em>, it is recommended (but not obligatory) to perform two prostrations of forgetfulness.<\/span><\/p>\n

To know more about the ruling of forgetting the number of rak`ahs<\/em> while offering prayer, watch this interesting talk with Dr. Muhammad Salah.<\/span>
