Question

I am reading my salaah alone and I am not sure whether I read 1 rakaat or 2 rakaats. Should I make sajida sahw or break the salaah and restart again.

Answer

If this does not occur frequently then you should restart the salaah.

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.
