Question
A Shaafi did not recite Qunoot in Fajr Salaat. He remembered this omission only a day later. What should he do?
Answer
If the Shaafi' forgets to recite
Qunoot in Fajr, he has to make Sajdah Sahw. According to the Shaafi' Math -hab, Sajdah Sahw is Sunnat. It is not Waajib. If he remembers in the sitting (Qa'dah) that he had omitted Qunoot, then he has to perform Sajdah Sahw. If he remembers after a day, there is no compensation other than to repent. The Salaat remains valid.
