Doubting if one is in the third or fourth rakaat
Question
A person doubts whether he is in the third or fourth rakaat. He assumes he is in the third and completes his salaah with sajdah sahw. Then someone tells him that he read five rakaats. Must he repeat his salaah?
Answer
If he is clear of what he did he does not need to accept the correction.
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.
