Repeating Surah Faatiha in Salaah

· 2 Shaʻban 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

One read more than the half of surah al Fatiha in the 1st rakah, then doubts whether he recited the beginning part correctly. If he re-starts from the place he doubts (and thus repeats a half or more of the whole surah) does he need to do Sajdah Sahw? Thus does repeating a half or more due to a doubt whether one recited correctly or not necessitate sajdah sahw, or does sajdah sahw become waajib only if one forgetfully repeats a half or more?

Answer

If he is in doubt then he should repeat the verse that he is in doubt of and make sajdah-e-sahw.

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