Is Sujud Al-Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness) required when repeating the Takbir of الانتقال (transitioning between prayer postures) in prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is prescribed for one who inadvertently adds an extra takbir or tasbih in their prayer to perform the two prostrations of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw) after the salutation (taslim), as an atonement for that addition. This is done by way of recommendation, not obligation.
