Question

Does doing an extra sajda-e-sahw affect salaah?

In the last sitting, I recited tashahhud, did sajda-e-sahw, then recited tashahhud, and became unsure if I had done sajda-e-sahw, so I did it again and finished my salaah. Is the prayer valid?

Answer

Yes, it is valid.

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