Sajda-e-Sahw

Becoming certain that one did not err in Salaah after initially having a doubt

Q: If a person doubts in his prayer, he should act upon that which he is certain of, or upon what is weightier in his mind, and do Sajdah Sahw at the end. But what if it becomes clear to him (lateron during the prayer) that the course of action he has proceeded upon is in accordance with reality and that he has neither added to or deleted anything from his prayer. Should he still do Sajdah Sahw or not anymore?

I read that Shaykh Uythamin said: "... he no longer has to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, due to the fact that doubt which necessitates it is no longer present.

A different saying is that it is still necessary to perform the prostration of forgetfulness in order to humiliate the Shaytan, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him), "And if he has prayed it completely then the two prostrations will be a humiliation for the Shaytan." 

And due to the fact that he performed a part of his prayer in a state of doubt with regards to its performance and this is the more correct saying insha'Allah.

An example of this is if a person prays and doubts in a rak'ah, whether it is the second or third rak'ah. Neither of these two possibilities carries more weight in his mind, so he makes it the second rak'ah and completes his prayer upon that basis. But whilst continuing, it becomes clear to him, that it was the second rak'ah in reality. In such a case there is no prostration for for forgetfulness due upon him in the saying most well known in the madhhab, but prostration for forgetfulness before the salutation is required from him and the second saying that we hold to be preferable."

What if such cases do happen often? Like when one does stand up for the 3th rakaat one does doubt and does think he missed the first tashahhud then in the 4th rakaat he remembrs he did the first tashahhud. 

قراءة الصلوات على النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم في القعدة الأولى

س: هل يجوز قراءة الصلوات على النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم في القعدة الأولى من الصلاة الفريضة بعد التشهد (في صلوات الظهر و العصر و المغرب و العشاء؟

Doubting if one read a Surah after Surah Faatiha

Q: If in a two rakat prayer one doubts in the second rakat whether one had read a surah after surah al Fatiha in the first rakat, should he read in the second rakat after surah Fatiha 2 surahs? What should he do in a 4 rakat prayer? If he is sure that it is left out, is it waajib that he should read it i.e. in a 4 rakat prayer should he read it in the 3rd rakat or can he leave it out and do only sajdah sahw?

Stopping in-between words in Salaah

Q: During Quran recitation or during the Zikrs and duaas while in salaah if one stops at the half of a word and after 2 seconds one continue does the Salaah break? For example when one wants to read "Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin..." one says "Al..." after 2 seconds "...Hamdulillahi..." or one starts from begining again. Another example when reciting "Ihdinas siraat al mustakim..." one says "siraat al..." then one does restart from "Ihdinas..." Or when reading "...musteqim.." one stops after after "muste..."  then one re-reads it. Does such things break salaah? Also if one makes such an error that would break the salaah, if one re-reads the relevant place correctly again, does the salaah become valid again?

Sajdah-e-Sahw

Q: Is the sajdah sahw only waajib in those instances when it is allowed to pray? For example if one is praying Fajr and after the salaam the sun does rise, does he need to do sajdah sahw or his he absolved ? If not does he later need to repeat the Fajr (because he did not do sajdah sahw)?

If one praying Asr and after he makes salaam the redness of the horizon is visible, does he need to do sajdah sahw or is he absolved ? If not does he later need to repeat the Asr ?
