Forgetting to sit after 2 rakaats in nafl salaah
Question
If I wanted to read 2 rakat of nafl salaah but after reading 2 rakats, without sitting, I get up accidentally, should I break my salah? If I sit for tashahud but forget doing salam and get up accidentally what should I do?
Answer
If you stood up for the 3rd rakaat then continue and finish 4 rakaats with sajdah sahw at the end.
Complete the 3rd and 4th rakaat as normal.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
