What is the ruling on adding an action not belonging to the genus of the prayer elements?

Chapter on the Two Prostrations of Forgetfulness

Al-Mughni

Book of Prayer

Book 3 · Issue 2 · Bab 7

Open in Qurani

Primary text

Actions not of the same genus as prayer, such as walking, scratching, or adjusting oneself (tarawwuh), invalidate the prayer if performed excessively. Minor actions of this type are excused, and no prostration of forgetfulness is required for them, regardless of whether they were done intentionally or in forgetfulness.
