Shaafi imaam not making sajdah sahw

· 28 Rajab 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If I am performing salaah as a Hanafi behind a Shaafi and he makes an error by forgetting the first tashahud in Asr Salaah, what is the right way of making sajdah sahw or should the salaah be repeated?

Answer

If the Shaafi imaam did not make the sajdah e sahw, your salaah will be valid.

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