Muqtadi making sajdah sahw
Question
How does one perform prostration of forgetfulness behind an Imam if one makes an error, such as sending blessings upon the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) in the first sitting or reciting surah fathia?
Answer
If the muqtadi while performing Salaah behind the Imaam makes a mistake, he will not make sajda-e-sahw.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
