Repeating Surah Faatiha in Salaah
Question
One read more than the half of surah al Fatiha in the 1st rakah, then doubts whether he recited the beginning part correctly. If he re-starts from the place he doubts (and thus repeats a half or more of the whole surah) does he need to do Sajdah Sahw? Thus does repeating a half or more due to a doubt whether one recited correctly or not necessitate sajdah sahw, or does sajdah sahw become waajib only if one forgetfully repeats a half or more?
Answer
If he is in doubt then he should repeat the verse that he is in doubt of and make sajdah-e-sahw.
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.
