In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate, Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the Worlds

 

SALAAH (PRAYER)

ACTS THAT DO NOT NULIFY SALAAT

Salaat will not be nullified in the following cases:

  1. By the Musallee looking at any writing and understanding it.

  2. By eating that which is stuck between the teeth provided that it is smaller than a pea.

  3. By someone passing across the place of Sajdah, however the passer will be sinful.

SAJDAH SAHW

This refers to the performance of 2 additional Sujoods on order to compensate for an error on the Salaat.

However, this error must have been done by mistake and not intentionally as this would break the Salaat.

 

METHOD

1. After reciting the Tashahhud only in the Qaidah Akhirah (last sitting) say:

“Assala mu alaikum wa rah matullaaah”, while turning the head to the right only (i.e. only one Salaam).
           
2. After making this one Salaam perform two Sajdahs as usual, sit in Qaidah and complete the Salaat as usual, i.e. recite Tashahhud, Durood, Dua and Salaam.

 

           THE PRINCIPLES OF SAJDAH SAHW

Sajdah Sahw becomes Wajib under the following circumstances:-

1. Any Wajib act being omitted.

2. Any Wajib act being displaced, e.g. Performing it before time or later than its stipulated place.

3. Any Wajib act being repeated.

4. Any Wajib act being altered, e.g. loud Qiraat being recited in place of silent Qiraat, etc.

5. Any Farz act being displaced, e.g. observing it before time or later than is stipulated.

6. Any Farz act being repeated.
