11,390What to Do If You Make a Mistake in Recitation in Prayer?
1. If you err or forget something while reciting Al-Fatihah, you have to correct it because the prayer for the one who does not recite Al-Fatihah is invalid. 2. If you make a mistake when reciting the Surah after Al-Fatihah or you forget anything of it, it is not prescribed for you to say Istighfar; rather you should try to correct the mistake and remember what you forgot, but if you cannot do that then you may move on to the verse after it, or leave this Surah and start reciting another, or you may bow. If you do any of these things, there is nothing wrong with that.213,667In prostration, do all the toes have to touch the ground?

9,049Helping someone who faints during Jumu’ah prayers
29,450Can You Walk in Front of One Who Is Praying?
If a man walks in front of the worshipper it does not interrupt his prayer, but it detracts from its reward. Animals passing in front of the praying person do not interrupt the prayer. The Sunnah indicates that the one who is praying should prevent anything or anyone who wants to pass in front of him even if they are not one of those three, neither a dog nor a woman nor a donkey. It is Sunnah for the believer to put something in front of him before he prays, such as a chair or a spear that he sticks in the ground, or a wall or pillar that he faces towards when he is praying so that nothing will pass in front of him that could interrupt his prayer.144,720If his prayer is invalidated or interrupted, should he say the tasleem?
13,685Does Phlegm Break Wudu?
As phlegm is pure and is not food or drink, and does not come under the same rulings as food and drink, if a person swallows while praying, the prayer remains valid, especially if one could not help it and was not able to spit it out into a handkerchief and the like.71,351
