Must one repeat the Fajr prayer if the worshiper becomes certain of having completed the two prostrations after momentary doubt during prostration, and did not perform the prostration of forgetfulness, knowing that the doubt was not dominant?

Whoever doubts during their prayer but then becomes certain of having done it correctly, is not required to perform the prostration of forgetfulness ( al-sahw); because the doubt has vanished, and they have become certain of the correctness of what was done, and their prayer is valid.
