Salaat The Majlis Vol 25 No 06, p.3

The Imaam mistakenly performed five raka'ts instead of four.

Question

The Imaam mistakenly performed five raka'ts instead of four. He made Sajdah Sahw. Is the Salaat valid?

Answer

If the Imaam had not sat in Tashahhud in the fourth raka't, then the Fardh Salaat is not valid. The Salaat has to be repeated. If the Imaam had sat for Tashahhud in the fourth raka't, then added the fifth raka't, the Salaat will be valid.
