Performing five rakaats
Question
I prayed asr or Dhuhr I think, and I think in 2nd rak'ah I said ayah of al Faatihah wrong but was not sure so I ignored it and on the third rak'aat I noticed it was probably wrong so I took the 3rd rak'aat as 2nd and finished like normal and then did 2 sujood sahw. Any thing wrong with this?
Answer
You should repeat the namaaz.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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