Assalam o 3alkom,I hope my message finds you well and in good health.
This answer on https://islamqa.info/en/answers/12527/reasons-for-doing-the-prostration-of-forgetfulness in it's current context does not seem to be clear enough. "For example: a man stood up after doing the first prostration of the first rak’ah and did not sit or do the second prostration. When he started to recite Qur’aan he remembers that he had not done the second prostration or sat between the two prostrations. In that case he should go back and sit as between the two prostrations, then prostrate, then stand up and do whatever is left of his prayer, and do the prostration of forgetfulness after saying the salaam."Sounds almost identical to this:"Omitting an obligatory part of the prayer – such as if he omits an obligatory part and moves on to the next part of the prayer. For example, he forgets to say Subhaan Rabbiy al-A’la (Glory be to my Lord Most High) and he does not remember until he has got up from prostrating. In this case he has omitted an obligatory part of the prayer by mistake, so he should carry on with his prayer then do the prostration of forgetfulness before saying the salaam, because when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) omitted the first tashahhud he carried on with his prayer and did not go back and repeat anything, then he did the prostration of forgetfulness before saying the salaam. "
I cannot seem to understand the difference. Can you kindly help me understand when exactly do we do the prostration of forgetfulness? Before or After the Salam?
May Allah bless you all.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Ahmed
