An Imam (the one who leads congregational

Q 4: An Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) led us in the Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer. In the second Rak`ah (unit of Prayer), he forgetfully did not sit to recite the first part of Tashahhud (a recitation in the sitting position in the second/last unit of Prayer) while the Ma'mums (persons being led by an Imam in Prayer) sat down and drew his attention to the mistake he had made by saying, "Subhan Allah (Glorified be Allah)". However, he did not sit because he was already standing up by that time, and we followed him. After finishing the Salah (Prayer), he performed Sujud-ul-Sahw (Prostration of Forgetfulness) and then said the Taslim (salutation of peace ending the Prayer). Is our Salah correct, even though the Imam did not sit to recite the first part of Tashahhud?


A: If the reality is as you mentioned, then your Salah is correct. (Part No. 7; Page No. 140) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
