A Musaafir Performing Four Rakaats Of Zuhr, Asr Or Esha

Sajdah SahwSalaah Of The Traveller

Question

If a Musaafir reads 4 rakaats salah in his own, what is the position of his salaah?

Answer

If a musaafir accidently prayed 4 rakaats and he sat in the second rakaat for Tashahhud, the salaah will be rectified with Sajdah Sahw for delaying the salaam.

However, if a person intentionally does this act, then the salaah will have to be repeated within thetime of this salaah.
