Sajdah sahw for not reading long surahs in salaah?

· 14 Safar 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I made the intention in my heart to recite long surahs in fajr salaah, but I forgot and recited short surahs instead. Does this make sejdah sahw waajib?

Answer

No.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

وفي الولوالجية الأصل في هذا أن المتروك ثلاثة أنواع فرض وسنة وواجب ففي الأول أمكنه التدارك بالقضاء يقضي وإلا فسدت صلاته وفي الثاني لا تفسد؛ لأن قيامها بأركانها وقد وجدت ولا يجبر بسجدتي السهو وفي الثالث إن ترك ساهيا يجبر بسجدتي السهو وإن ترك عامدا لا، كذا في التتارخانية (الفتاوى الهندية 1/126)
