Making Salaam mistakenly after two rakaats
Question
While performing four rakaats sunnat salaah, I mistakenly made one salaam after two rakaats. Realizing my mistake, I immediately got up and completed the remaining two rakaats and made sajda-e-sahw. Is this acceptable or do I need to repeat the salaah?
Answer
The Salaah is valid and you do not have to repeat the Salaah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
