[أم أبي التراب]

*Does Sujuoud Al Sahw have Takbeer and Tasleem?*

Yes, it has Takbeer and Tasleem but it has no
Kiam... The prophet, peace be upon him, forgot once in his prayer, then he completed his prayer and performed two Prostrations Of Forgetfulness after Al Tasleem. Sahih Muslim.

*Is it obligatory for making the prostrations (Sujuoud Al Sahw) after Al Tasleem to perform Al Takbeer for the Ihram or saying only the Takbeer of Sujoud?*

Most of the scholars said that it is sufficient to make only Takbeer Al Sujuoud if only the person will make Sujuoud Al Sahw, but if he needs to complete some Raka'ats he should make Takbeer Al Ihram, then the Tasleem and after that make Sujuoud Al Sahw .

*Rulings of Sujuoud Al Sahw* (1).

Scholars have two opinions about Sujuoud Al Sahw..
1- it is obligatory.
2- it is likable.

But most likely it is obligatory, as the prophet, peace be upon him, said: *if anyone forgets in his prayers he should make two Prostrations Of Forgetfulness* .. Muslim.
And the prophet used to do it whenever he forgets.

Prostrations Of Forgetfulness (Sujuoud Al Sahw) is obligatory if one forgets a pillar (rukn) or Obligations (Waajibaat) from his prayer...

But if any one forgets one of the prayer sunnahs, some scholars said that he should not perform Sujuoud Al Sahw as this sunnah won't decrease anything in the prayer, but others said that there should be Sujuoud Al Sahw because the prophet said : *for every Forgetfulness two prostrations*... Sahih Sunnan Abu Dawood .

If one repeated Forgetfulness in his prayer, he should perform only one Sujuoud Al Sahw, as neither the prophet nor any of his companions performed more than one Sujuoud Al Sahw.


The prayer has Arkan, wajibaat and sunnan.

*Arkan* means pillars of the prayer, without it the prayer will be invalid and the person should perform it and perform Sujuoud Al Sahw.

*فعن أبي هريرة ـ رضي الله عنه "أنَّ النَّبيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صلَّى الظُّهرَ فسلَّمَ في الرَّكعتينِ فقيلَ لَهُ نَقَصْتِ الصَّلاةُ؟ فصلَّى رَكعتينِ ثمَّ سجدَ سجدتين."

*Abu Hurairah reported that the prophet prayed two rak'at for the Duhr prayer, his companions asked him whether the prayer is shortened so he prayed other two rak'at and performed Sujuoud Al Sahw*. Sahih sunnan Abu Dawood.

*Al Wajibaat*... If anyone leaves them delibrately he is sinned..if he remembers it after having moved on from its place in the prayer, but before reaching the pillar that follows it, then he returns to it and performs it. Then he completes his prayer and makes Al Tasleem then he
prostrates for forgetfulness, and makes Al Tasleem... If
however, he remembers it after reaching the pillar that
follows it, then it is cancelled, so he should not go back to it but should continue his prayer and then prostrate for forgetfulness before making Al Tasleem.

It was narrated that Mughirah bin Shu’bah said: “ The prophet, peace be upon him, said said: *‘If anyone of you stands after two Rak’a, if he has not yet stood up fully, let him sit down again, but if he has stoodupfully, then let him not sit down, and let him perform two prostrations for forgetfulness ( Sujuoud Al Sahw).’*”. Sunan Ibn Majah

It should be pointed out, however, that there is no distinction between a man who is closer to standing, or a man who sits down, but as is apparent: "A man, before he is leveled up, if he remembers he sits down even if he is near standing.
