Does the prostration of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw) become obligatory if one inadvertently recites the salutation upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the first tashahhud?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Invoking blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the first is legislated according to some scholars. However, the majority of them are of the opinion that it is not legislated. Nevertheless, it does not necessitate the prostration of forgetfulness ( as-sahw), so the prayer is valid, and the prostration of forgetfulness is not required.
