Reciting Surah Faatiha and a Surah in the last two rakaats of fardh Salaah

Q: In Beheshti Zewar it is mentioned that in a fardh Salaah, in the last two rakaats if a person reads surah Fatiha and a Surah thereafter, sajdah sahw will not be wajib. Please can mufti saheb explain the reason for this, because it seems contrary to the usool that it is delaying the ruku.

A: The reasons have been explained by Fuqaha. To view the details of this maslah, you may refer to Shaami vol. 2 pg. 459 and Aalamghiri vol. 1 pg. 126.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
