Doubt in Completing the Final Tashahhud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, sometimes I become distracted in the final tashahhud.
The Shaykh:
Sometimes.
The questioner:
I become distracted in the final tashahhud, and I am certain that I recited some of the tahiyyat, but I do not remember whether I completed them or not. So what should I do? Do I repeat it in its entirety, or do I resume from the part I am certain of?
The Shaykh:
No, you proceed with what you are in doubt about. You proceed with the tashahhud. If you are in doubt about the tashahhud, did you do it or not? You do it before the taslim, then you say the shahada after the taslim.
