Salaat The Majlis Vol 27 No 02, p.24

I forgot to recite a Surah in the second Raka‟t, but recited it in the third raka‟t of the Fardh Salaat.

Question

I forgot to recite a Surah in the second Raka‟t, but recited it in the third raka‟t of the Fardh Salaat. I made Sajdah Sahw. If I had not recited the Surah in the third raka‟t would the Salaat have been valid?

Answer

The Salaat would have been valid. If one forgets reciting a Surah in the first or second raka‟t of Fardh, it is Mustahab to recite it in the third or fourth raka‟t. If it is omitted even in the last two raka‟ts, the Salaat will be valid. Sajdah Sahw has to be made.
