The answer

The prayer of one who inadvertently omits a rak'ah (unit of prayer) or a rukn (pillar) becomes invalid if a long period passes before performing it. This length of time is considered long by exiting the mosque or by the passage of a period of time that is customarily deemed long. However, one who frequently experiences forgetfulness is not obligated to perform the prostration of forgetfulness ( al-sahw) due to hardship. Furthermore, it is obligatory for a man to perform prayer in congregation in the mosque.
