An Imam (the one who leads congregational

Q 3: If an Imam (leader of congregational Prayer) forgets a Sajdah (Prostration) in a Rak`ah (unit of Prayer), stands up and the Ma'mumin (persons being led by an Imam in Prayer) correct him, shall he perform the second Sajdah or what?

A: He should listen to them and return to perform the second Sajdah, if he has not already begun recitation, and perform Sujud-ul-Sahw (Prostration of Forgetfulness) in the end of Salah (Prayer). However, if he had already begun recitation, he should not return, but should continue recitation and offer a Rak`ah instead of the one in which he missed a Sajdah, and then perform Sujud-ul-Sahw, as the former Rak`ah is not counted.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
