Making Salaam mistakenly after two rakaats

· 12 Rajab 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

While performing four rakaats sunnat salaah, I mistakenly made one salaam after two rakaats. Realizing my mistake, I immediately got up and completed the remaining two rakaats and made sajda-e-sahw. Is this acceptable or do I need to repeat the salaah?

Answer

The Salaah is valid and you do not have to repeat the Salaah.

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