Question:
The questioner says: If I prayed over the deceased and said five takbirs out of forgetfulness, what is the consequence for me? Is sujud al-sahw obligatory for me?
Answer:
Nothing is required of you, ever. But as we mentioned, if a person is the imam for the people, he does what is required of everyone, and there is no disagreement on this, which is four. However, if he prays alone, he is to choose whatever he wishes. Yes.
