Question
A person was making 4 raka't Fardh namaaz. In the 4th raka't, he sat for Tashahhud, then mistakenly stood up into a 5th rakat. Immediately on standing, he realises his error, then returns to sitting and makes salaam. Is this correct? Did he have to make Sajdah Sahw?
Answer
He was supposed to sit, make Sajdah Sahw and complete the Salaat as usual. In the case mentioned by you, he has erred.
