Q: What is the reason that if in the first or second rakaat Surah Fatiha is repeated twice (or half of more) it does require Sajdah Sahw, but if it is repeated in the 3rd or 4th rakaat, it does not require Sajdah Sahw?
Q: If one repeats Surah Fatiha in the 3rd or 4th rakaat of a fardh Salaah, will sajdah sahw be waajib?
Q: Will sajdah sahw be performed when missing out a wajib in sunnah and nafl prayers also?
Q: Can you please teach me the method of sajda-e-sahw?
Q: A person doubts whether he is in the 3th or 4th rakaat, and in his mind he has no clue which one it would be. Thus he takes the lesser amount. Should he still sit after the 3rd rakaat and make tashahhud, as there is a possibility that it is the 4th rakaat?
Q: If someone leaves out a sunnah of the salaah or commits a makrooh action in salaah, will it be necessary for him to repeat the salaah? What if the time for the salaah has already finished?
Q: I was praying my Fardh Fajr Salaah and I did not recite loud like I do in the loud prayers and more like how I recite in the quiet prayers and so I continued reciting how I was so as to keep consistency in the salaah. At the sitting position in the second rak'ah, I said up to "Ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'Abduhu Wa Rasooluh." and said "Assalaamu 'alaykum wa Rahmatullaah" to my right then faced forward and prostrated (I intended to do the two prostrations of forgetfulness for not reciting out loud like I usually do for Fajr Fardh). During this, I got up from prostrating and raised my index finger and was about to start reciting "Attahiyyatu lillaahi Was-Salaatu Wat-Tayyibaatu." But then, I was confused whether I prostrated once or twice, and I leaned to the decision that I had only prostrated once so far and so I said "Rabbighfirlee" three times and prostrated for what I assume to be my second prostration. I sat back up and said the Tashahhud, Durood and Du'a, then I said both Tasleem. Now I wonder is my salaah valid?
Q: I was praying salaah on my own and I was reciting Al-Faatihah and then I felt confident that I missed an ayah, but wasn't sure which one and I knew for sure I had recited up to "Ar-Rahmaa-nir-Raheem." So I hadn't yet completed Al-Faatihah and I went back and recited from "Maaliki Yawmid-deen" until the end. I also in the same salaah was unsure whether I made two or one prostrations and did one more to make sure and after salaah I made two prostrations of forgetfulness for these mistakes and for any other mistakes I made. Then in the two prostrations of forgetfulness, I doubted whether I said the second part of the Durood "Allaahumma baarik 'alaa Muhammad..' (peace be upon him) and so on. But I thought it was a doubt and ignored it, but don't recall doing it now. Is this OK? Anything I have to do?
Q: It is stated in some hanafi fiqh books that it is wajib to sit up straight between the two sajdas (Jalsa). I keep having this problem where I keep thinking that I haven't sat up exactly straight between the two sajdahs and think I've missed a wajib and would perform sajda sahw. Is it necessary that I have to sit up exactly straight between the two sajdas or is there some leniency that for this sitting up straight is approximate and not exact?
Q: I have a stressful problem with waswasah about "two prostrations of forgetfulness" like sometimes, I try to refrain from doing the "two prostrations of forgetfulness" when I feel it isn't obligatory to do it, sometimes I stop and sit about whether it's necessary or not - I probably do averagely two "two prostrations of forgetfulness" a day and that is a lot to me, and other times wondering whether I need to do the "two prostrations of forgetfulness" or not! Do I need to do the "two prostrations of forgetfulness" if I accidently elongate a letter or if I don't elongate when you should accidently? Question: What mistakes are acceptable for the salah to be valid without the obligation of doing "two prostrations of forgetfulness"?
