The Place of the Prostration of Forgetfulness in Shortcomings
If I doubt the number of obligatory units of the Dhuhr prayer and think that I prayed three, and I want to perform an additional unit, should I do it after I say the salam to the right and then stand up to perform the unit?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If you doubt the number of prayers and the count is not clear to you, you should base it on the minimum and perform one unit directly, then prostrate for forgetfulness afterwards, and God knows best.
