If in a four raka't Fardh Salaat, I forget to sit in Tashahhud in the second raka't, but went into Qiyaam, should I return to the Tashahhud position a

Answer

If in any four raka't Fardh Salaat or the three raka't Maghrib Salaat or the three raka't Witr Salaat or a four raka't Sunnatul Muakkadah Salaat, you forget to sit in Tashahhud in the second raka't, then after you have stood up into the Qiyaam position, continue with the Salaat. Don't return to the Tashahhud position. At the end of the Salaat perform Sajdah Sahw. This will rectify the Salaat. If Sajdah Sahw was not made, then the Salaat should be repeated. If someone returns to the Tashhhud position, he has acted incorrectly. Nevertheless, Sajdah Sahw will still have to be made and the Salaat will be discharged.
