Fiqh Girls Page 9A.29 www.madressa.net Doubt that can be corrected:  1208

There are 9 situations in which a person can have doubts about the number of Rak’aats in the Namaaz consisting of 4 Rak'aats.

In those situations, one should pause to think, and if s/he arrives at any decision or probability, s/he should act accordingly.

If doubt persists, s/he should follow these rules: These are only some of the possible doubts you could have:

Problem 1: Zainab was offering her Eisha Namaaz. She had a doubt after two sajdahs as to whether she has performed 3 Rak'aats or 4 Rak’aats, what will she do? Solution: She should assume that she has performed 4 Rak'aats, and finish the prayers. Then after finishing the prayers she should offer, as an obligatory precaution, 1 Rak'aat of Namaaz-e- Ehtiyat, standing.

WHY? Because she assumes she has prayed 4 Rak’aats and she may have prayed only 3 Rak’aats – the difference (4-3=1), so she prays 1 Rak’aat Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat

Solution: He should take it as his 4 Rak'aats and finish his prayers. He should then stand up to offer 2 Rak'aats of Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat, standing.

WHY? Because he assumes he has prayed 4 Rak’aats and he may have prayed only 2 Rak’aats – the difference (4-2=2), so he prays 2 Rak’aats Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat

Solution: She should decide that he has performed 4 Rak'aats. After completing the prayers, she should perform 2 Rak'aats of Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat standing, and 2 Rak’aats in the sitting position.

WHY? Because she assumes she has prayed 4 Rak’aats and she may have prayed only 2 Rak’aats – the difference (4-2=2), so she prays 2 Rak’aats Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat standing for the first possible difference AND AS

She may only have prayed 3 Rak’aats – the difference (4-3=1), so she prays another 1 Rak’aat left for the 2nd part of his doubt.

As he has already offered one set of Namaaz-e-Ehtiyat standing, she will now do 2 Rak’aats in a sitting position which is equal to 1 Rak’aat in the standing position

Sajdah-e-Sahv becomes Wajib, when  1245 - You talk by mistake in Salaat - You recite Salaam at the wrong place, by mistake - You forget Tashahud. - In a 4 Rakaat Salaat you have a doubt after the 2nd Sajdah as to whether it is the 4th or 5th Rakaat or 4th or 6th Rakaat - You added or left out by mistake any such thing, which is not Rukn.

If you forget one Sajdah or Tashahud but remember it before the Ruku of the next Rakaat, you should return and perform it. If, however, you remember after Salaat is completed, then you will have to offer 2 Sajdah-e-Sahv as a recommended precaution. 1253

Method of Performing Sajdah-e-Sahv

Soon after finishing Salaat: - Do Niyyat: "I am doing Sajdah-e-Sahv in lieu of Tashahud (or Salaam or Sajdah or Qiyam, etc; as the case may be Wajib Qurbatan ilallah". - Then go to Sajdah and say the following once. o "BISMILLAHI WA BILLAHI ASSALAAMU ALAIKA AIYUHAN-NABIYYU WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATUH". - Then rise from Sajdah and sit, but don't recite anything. - Then go to Sajdah again and recite: o "BISMILLAHI WA BILLAHI ASSALAAMU ALAIKA AIYUHAN- NABIYYU WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATUH", as you did in the first Sajdah, - Then rise from Sajdah - Recite Tashahud and Salaam.

If after the prayer, but before the Qadha of Sajdah or Tashahud, any actions are done which invalidate Salaat, then it is necessary to do Qadha and Sajdah-e-sahv and then repeat the prayer as a recommended Salaat-e-Ehtiyat 1225 - Does not have a 2nd Surah or Qunoot precaution. 1264 - Should be offered silently - Its Niyyat should not be uttered If you have forgotten Tashahud or one Sajdah in the Salaat, it is Wajib to do Qadha at once after Salaat; then do Sajdah-e-sahv. 1270
