When I am reciting surahs during prayer sometimes I make a mistake or
forget because Im not concentrating, then I say'AstighfirAllah three
times and then start the surah again or start the verse again. Is this
correct? Or should I start a new surah?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If a person forgets something in his recitation or makes a mistake in
it whilst praying, if it is in al-Faatihah then he has to correct his
recitation, because there is no prayer for the one who does not recite
it (al-Faatihah). If he forgets something or makes a mistake in it
that changes the meaning, his prayer is not valid until he corrects
it.
If the mistake is not in al-Faatihah, then his prayer is valid,
because recitation after al-Faatihah is Sunnah and is not obligatory.
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas stated:
If a person forgets the soorah after al-Faatihah,he does not have to
do anything further, whether he is leading the prayer, praying behind
an imam or praying on his own, and whether the prayer is obligatory or
naafil. This is according to the more correct of the two scholarly
opinions. End quote.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 7/146
If a person makes a mistake when reciting the soorah or he forgets
anything of it, it is not prescribed for him to sayistighfaar (ask for
forgiveness); rather he should try to correct the mistake and remember
what he forgot, but if hecannot do that then he may move on to the
verse that comes after it,or he may leave this soorah and start
recitinganother, or he may bow.If he does any of these things, there
is nothing wrong with that.
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas stated:
If the worshipper becomes confused whenreciting a verse and he cannot
remember it, there is no reason why he cannot recite the following
verse, but it is prescribed for him not to recite in prayer anything
but that which he has memorised well, so that he will not get confused
a great deal. End quote.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 5/337
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
If the imam recites in prayer what he can of the Qur'aan, then he
forgets the end of the verse, and none of the worshippers behind
himknows it, so they cannot prompt him, should he say takbeer and bow,
or should he recite anothersoorah?
He replied:
He has the choice: if he wishes he may end the recitation and say
takbeer or if he wishes he may recite a verse or verses from another
soorah, so long as that isnot in al-Faatihah. In thecase of
al-Faatihah, it is essential to recite it in full, because reciting it
isone of the pillars or essential parts of the prayer. End quote.
Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz, 12/129
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
If I am praying on my own and I make a mistake in the recitation of
the verse, and I am not able to complete it and I am confusing it with
another verse, what should I do when I am praying?
He replied: You can do one of two things: you can either move on to
the verse that follows it, or you can bow, becausethe matter in this
case is broad in scope. End quote.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
