Repeating the Tashahhud After the Prostration of Forgetfulness is Not Legislated
Answered by Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān
The Question
Noble Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: is it established that the tashahhud and the Ibrāhīmī ṣalāh are repeated a second time after the prostration of forgetfulness, as the Ḥanafīs do? Then he says, may Allah preserve you: is it permissible for us to follow the imam in doing this if we pray behind him?
