He did the first sajdah of sujood al-sahw (prostrations for forgetfulness in the prayer), then he remembered that he did not do anything that required sujood al-sahw
Question: 10230
He did the first sajdah of sujood al-sahw, then he remembered that he did not do anything that required sujood al-sahw. Should he do the second sajdah or not?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Shaykh
‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked this
question, and he hesitated, then he replied:
The
best thing is for him to do the second sajdah, so as not to confuse people
and give them cause to shout “Subhaan
Allaah” [to draw his attention to his mistake] – that is, if he is the imaam. And Allaah knows best.
