Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Forgetfulness During Prayer
Should a person do the prostration of forgetfulness for absentmindedness?
57,208Reasons for Sujud As-Sahw
Sujud as-Sahw in prayer is prescribed for three reasons: 1- Doing something extra, 2- Omitting something, 3- Being uncertain. Sujud as-sawh should be done before the salam if you have omitted one of the obligatory parts or you are not sure how many rak`ahs you have done. Sujud as-sahw should be done after the salam if you have added something extra or you are not certain but one of the two choices seems more likely to be the case.194,652Not doing sujood al-sahw in order to ward off waswaas (insinuating whispers from the Shaytaan)
26,992What is the ruling on sahw (forgetfulness) in prayer?
24,974Is There Tashahhud after Sujud as-Sahw?
There is no tashahhud after Sujud as-Sahw because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not do that, as is indicated by the sahih hadiths.61,829Making Up Sujud As-Sahw
If you forgot to do sujud as-sahw, you can make it up if you are still in the mosque and a long time has not passed. If a long time has passed or you broke your wudu or you left the mosque, you do not need to do the sujud and your prayer is still valid.108,791What to Recite in Sujud As-Sahw
What is to be said in Sujud As-Sahw is the same as what is to be said in the sujud of prayer, which is to say Subhana Rabbi al-A’la or other tasbihat which are reported as being sunnah to say in sujud.84,152Sujood Ul-Sahw if in doubt while praying
224,591One remembers that during a raka’a one did not recite al-Fatihah
27,947What Should I Do If I am Not Sure If I Prayed 3 or 4 Rak’ahs?
If you are not sure if you prayed three or four rak`ahs, you should consider the most likely case. If you cannot put more weight to one of the two, you should assume what you are certain of and that is the lesser amount, and make sujud al-sahw.65,570
