Sujud-ul-Sahw

Q 3: How should Sujud-ul-Sahw (Prostration of Forgetfulness) be performed in the Five Obligatory Daily Prayers? Is it one or two Sujuds (prostrations)? It is before or after the Taslim (salutation of peace ending the Prayer)?


A: Anyone who loses attention while offering Salah (Prayer) and so misses, does anything extra in Salah by mistake, or has doubts about having performed something extra or missing something in Salah, they should perform two Sujuds of Sujud-ul-Sahw either before or after offering Taslim. The way to perform them is just like the two Sujud made during Salah and what is said in them is the same.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
