Does the prayer become void by correcting an unintentional mistake in the dhikr (remembrance of God) during prostration?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What occurred—uttering something other than what was intended—is a mistake and not deliberate, and there is no sin in it, because a mistake is intending one thing and encountering another, and it is forgiven. This error does not invalidate the prayer, for excessive speech does not invalidate it if one is forgetful or it was a slip of the tongue.
