SAJDAH SAHW

Refers to the performance of 2 additional Sujoods in order to compensate for an error in the Salaat.
However, this error must have been done by mistake and not intentionally as this would break the Salaat.

METHOD


1. After reciting the Tashahud only in the Qaidah Akhirah (last sitting) say:
Asala mu alaikum wa rah matullaah, while turning the head to the right only. (i.e. only one Salaam)
2. After making this one Salaam perform two Sajdahs as usual, sit in Qaidah and complete the Salaat as usual, i.e. recite Tashahud, Durood, Dua and Salaam.
(more to follow in part 2 – including subject in doubt.)

1. Any Wajib act being omitted.
2. Any Wajib act being displaced, e.g. performing it before time or later than its stipulated place.
3. Any Wajib act being repeated.
4. Any Wajib act being altered, e.g. loud Qiraat being recited in place of silent Qiraat, etc.
5. Any Fardh act being displaced, e.g. observing it before time or later than is stipulated.
