What should a worshipper do if they doubt the number of rak'ahs, and does the ruling differ if the doubt occurs before or after the taslim?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the worshipper doubts the number of rak'ahs after the prayer, he should not pay attention to it. However, if the doubt occurs during the prayer, he should build upon what he is certain of and perform the prostration of forgetfulness ( al-sahw) before the salutation ().
