Question
What are the things in which one should do sajda-e-sahu?
Answer
If any of the following acts are left out unintentionally or forgotten in Salaah, then one should make Sajdah Sahw. There are 14 waajib acts in Salaah: 1. Reciting a soorah in the first two rakaahs of fard salaah.. 2. Reciting of Surah Faatiha in all the Rakaat of salaah. However, in the third and fourth Rakaat of any Farz salaah, it is Sunnah not Waajib. 3. To recite a Surah or a lengthy Aayat or three small Aayats after SURAH-E-FAATIHA in the first two Rakaats of FARZ salaah. 4. To read SURA FATIHA before any other Surah or Aayat. 5. To maintain order between QIRAAT, RUKU, SAJDA and RAKAAHS. 6. QAUMA (Standing up erect after RUKU). 7. JALSA (Sitting between the two SAJDAS). 8. TA'DEELE ARKAAN, i.e. performing RUKU, SAJDA, etc. with contentment and in a good way. 9. QAADAH-OOLAA or sitting to the extent of saying TASHAHHUD after two Rakaats in Namaaz of three or four Rakaats. 10. To read TASHAHHUD in the two QA'DAAS. 11. To recite QIRAAT aloud in Fajr, Maghrib, Esha, Jumuah, Eidain and Taraweeh Salaat in Ramadaan by the Imam. The Imam should recite Zuhr and Asr Namaaz silently. 12. To end the Namaaz by saying SALAAM. 13. To say TAKBEER (Allahu-Akbar) for QUNOOT in Witr Namaaz and also recite DUA-E-QUNOOT. 14. To say six additional TAKBEERS in both Eid Namaaz. So, if any of the above mentioned acts are left out,example, a person forgot to read tashahud, then he will make a sajdah sahw. {Editor's note: Please refer to book of Salah on how to perform sajdah sahw]And Allah knows best.
