Question
A Maulana says that if the musalli in the first Qa'dah (sitting) of a four raka't Namaaz mistakenly recites Durood to the extent of 'Allaahumma salli ala Muhammad', then Sajdah Sahw has to be made, and this applies to Fardh and Nafl Salaat as well. Is this correct?
Answer
The mas'ala explained by the respected Moulana Sahib is not entirely correct. What he said applies to Fardh, Sunnatul Muakkadah and Witr Salaat. As far as Nafl/ Sunnatul Ghair Muakkadah is concerned, there is no need for Sajdah Sahw. Either one may continue and complete the Durood then stand up or stand up after having recited the short portion of the Durood then go into Qiyaam, and begin with Thana, then Ta-awwuz, etc. Sajdah Sahw is not incumbent in this case.
