Doubts in salaah
Question
What should a person do if he doubts (during salah but after the posture) whether he had read a waajib such as the duaa e qunoot?
Answer
To the best of his ability, he should make taharree (try to remember) whether he had recited the dua-e-qunoot. If the dominant portion of his mind is that he had recited it, then he will not have to make sajdah sahw at the end of the salaah. However, if the dominant portion is that he did not recite it, or there is no dominant feeling that comes in his mind and his mind remains unsure, then he should make sajdah sahw at the end of the salaah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
