Question
A muqtadi fell asleep after having made one Sajdah with the Imaam. When his eyes opened, the Imaam was in Qiyaam while he was still sitting in Jalsah. He quickly joined the Imaam without making the second Sajdah. Is his Salaat valid?
Answer
Since he had not made the Sajdah at any stage in the Salaat, his Salaat is not valid. He has to repeat the Salaat. When his eyes opened, he was supposed to have made the Sajdah, then join the Imaam. If he omits the Sajdah even at this juncture, then immediately after the Imaam's Salaam he should make one Sajdah, sit in Qa'dah, recite Attahiyaat and complete the Salaat with Salaam. There is no Sajdah Sahw for him because he is a Laahiq.
