Masbooq forgetfully making Salaam with the Imaam
Question
A Masbooq misses one Rakaat behind the Imaam. When the Imaam makes Salaam, he forgetfully makes Salaam with the Imaam. However, he recalls that he had missed a Rakaat and completes the missed Rakaat. Is he required to make Sajdah-e-Sahw at the end of his Salaah?
Answer
There can be three scenarios to this Mas’ala; either he made Salaam before the Imaam, or he made Salaam simultaneously with the Imaam, or he made Salaam after the Imaam. In the first two cases, Sajda-e-Sahw will not be obligatory upon the Muqtadi. However, in the last case where Salaam was made after the Imaam, which is the most common case, Sajda-e-Sahw will be Waajib (obligatory), irrespective of whether the Masbooq made a single Salaam to his right, or both Salaams.
