Reciting Surah Faatihah before Attahiyyaat

· 25 Jumada I 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If I recite alhamadu mistakenly before attahiyyaat in the last sitting and then do sajda-e-sahw, after sajda-e-sahw if I again mistakenly recite alhamadu before attahiyyaat, do I need to do sajda-e-sahw again or my prayer is valid without it?

Answer

No. The prayer is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
