The Difference between the Elements (Rukn) and Non-elements of Prayer
Issue 466: The Elements are the basic and necessary parts of prayer, and if one skips or avoids one of them, or performs an extra one, even if it is due to forgetting, their prayer will be void. The non-elements, too, are obligatory parts which are necessary to be performed but if one forgets to perform one of them or performs an extra one by mistake; their prayer will not be void. However, if one intentionally avoids performing a non-element or performs an extra one, their prayer will be void.
