Forgetting all the time in Salaah
Question
I forgot a lot in namaz. When doing sajdah sahu I even forget I have offered the salam and so I used to repeat my sajdah sahu. But now I offer salam to both sides and then do the sajda sahu knowingly. Is my namaaz valid?
Answer
Don’t worry about this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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