Q: My question is if someone unintentionally read a surah in the third or fourth rakaat of a farz salaah, does he have to do sajda sahw? Similarly, if someone forgot to read a surah in the third or fourth rakaat of sunnat salaah, does he have to do sajda sahw?

A:

1. No

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