Regarding sujood ul-sahw, some say at the end of prayer you say salam once and go into sujdah. Should you again perform salam after this?
Question
To the Above qestion it is rather confusing that some say we have to pray after completing the prayer.
Answer
According to the Hanafi Madhab, the procedure of Sajda-e-Sahw is to make only one Salaam after reciting the Tashahhud and performing two Sajdas. Thereafter, repeat the Tashahhud, recite Durood-e-Ebraahim, make Du'aa and complete Salaat by making two Salaams.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
