The imaam forgot and stood up for a third rak’ah in Salaat al-Taraaweeh,then he sat down

Question: 8413

If an Imam in Salah Taraweeh forgot to sit down for tashahud in the 2nd
rak’ah and get up straight (few seconds) but without utering AlFatiha and
then get down to perform the tashahud. What must the Imam and the makmum
do?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

They should all do sujood al-sahw for this extra action, which was standing up for a third rak’ah.
