Question
Instead of sitting in Tashahhud in the second raka't of the two raka'ts Sunnats of Maghrib, I went into Qiyaam and realized my error after completing the third raka't. Was I supposed to end the Salaat after the third raka't and make Sajdah Sahw or add another raka't to make it four? What should one do if one realizes the error before completing the third raka't?
Answer
If you completed the third raka't of the two Sunnats of Maghrib with Sajdah, then you should have added another raka't to make it four, then make Sajdah Sahw. If while engaged in the third raka't the musalli remembers, then he should immediately sit down, recite Tashahhud, make Sajdah Sahw and complete the Salaat.
