Question
Instead of making four raka'ts, the Imaam added a fifth raka't by mistake to the Zuhr Salaat. He made Sajdah Sahw. Is the Salaat valid?
Answer
If the Imaam had sat in Tashahhud in the 4th raka't, then the Salaat is valid. If he had not sat in Tashahhud in the fourth raka't, but completed the fifth raka't, then made Sajdah Sahw, the Fardh is then not valid. The Fardh has to be repeated in this case.
