What is the ruling on one who makes a mistake in a prostration of forgetfulness (sujood al-sahw); does the prayer become void or not?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever makes a mistake during the prostration of forgetfulness should not pay attention to this mistake, and what happened to the worshiper of forgetfulness does not invalidate his prayer; rather, it is valid in all cases, and nothing is required of him.
