Is it valid to perform the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw) in the Maghrib prayer, or is it restricted to the four-rak'ah prayers?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prostration of forgetfulness (Sujood As-Sahw) is prescribed for every prayer in which the worshipper makes a mistake, whether it is an obligatory (Fard) or a supererogatory (Nafl) prayer, and whether it is a four-unit, three-unit, or two-unit prayer.
