The answer

The prayer must be completed by standing for the fourth رکعة (unit of prayer) and completing it, then sitting for the final (testification of faith) in its proper place. It is recommended to perform the prostrations of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw) due to sitting and reciting the Tashahhud after the third رکعة. The prostrations of forgetfulness can be performed either before or after the salutation ().
