QUESTION:
In my Dhuhr 2 Rakaats Sunnah, after coming up from my second Sajdah, I accidentally started reading “ Allahumagh Firlee, Warhamni”, and then I remembered it’s my second Sajdah, so I stopped mid-sentence and started Tashahhud. Is my Salaah valid?
ANSWER:
It is necessary to recite the Tashahhud (which is amongst the Waajibaat of Salaah) in its stipulated place. If a Dua was recited in place of Tashahhud first (as in your case), then Sajda-e-Sahw will be necessary.
إذا بدا في موضع التشهد بالقراءة ثم تشهد فعليه السهو وبمثله لو بدا بالتشهد ثم بالقراءة فلا سهو عليه لان في الوجه الأول لم يضع التشهد موضعه وفي الوجه الثاني وضع التشهد موضعه (المحيط البرهاني ج٢ ص٣١٣)
ALLAH TA’ALA ALONE IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST!
