Question
The Imaam who is a Shaafi' did not sit for Tashahhud in the second raka't of Isha'. Although the m u q t a d i s e x c l a i m e d 'Subhaanallaah!', he continued with the third raka't. But he made Sajdah Sahw. Is the Salaat valid?
Answer
The Sajdah Sahw compensated for the error. The Salaat is valid. If the Imaam forgets to sit in Qa'dah Ula, and if he is closer to the Qiyaam (Standing) position, then he should not return to the Qa'dah (Sitting) even if th e muqtadis exclaim 'Subhaanallaah!'.
