Question
I finished the prayer during the Ten Days of Repentance and I am unsure if I said 'Hakel Hakadosh' or 'Hamelech Hakadosh'. Do I need to repeat the prayer?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
If you remembered before the prayer that you need to say 'Hamelech Hakadosh' and the doubt arose immediately after you finished the prayer, you should repeat the prayer, as it is likely you said it out of habit. However, if you had no doubt when you finished the prayer and the doubt only arose after some time, it is likely you said it correctly, and you do not need to repeat the prayer.
