Essentials of Prayer
Praying without Wudu Unintentionally: What to Do?
If you prayed without wudu by mistake, you have to do wudu and repeat your prayer. There is no sin on you if you were unaware of that. If you were aware that you had broken your wudu and that it was haram for you to pray in this situation, then you have committed a grave sin.49,488- 11,070

Obligatory Parts and Sunnah Acts of Prayer
1. There are 14 pillars of prayer and there are 8 obligatory parts of prayer. There are many Sunnah acts of prayer, both words and actions. 2. The difference between a pillar and an obligatory part is that a pillar cannot be waived, whether one omits it deliberately or by mistake, rather it must be done. An obligatory part is waived if one forgets, and it can be compensated for by doing the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud as-sahw). Learn more in the detailed answer.427,458- 17,422

What to Do If You Miss the First Tashahhud
