Saying "Attahiy" when standing up for the second rakaat
Question
During Isha, I stood up from the 1st rakaat and said “attahiy”, then I paused and corrected myself and began reciting Fatiha. Is my prayer valid?
Answer
Your salaah is valid and sajda e sahw is not compulsory in this situation.
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.
