Reciting out of order
Question
An imam recited in the prayer out of order and did not remember it until he gave the salam; after the salam the followers (muqtadis) told him. What should be done in such a case?
Answer
If in the prayer a sura was recited out of order through forgetfulness, then no sajda [al-sahw] is required because of it; the prayer is valid.
