Question:
A listener asks and says: If I sit after the first rak'ah or after the third rak'ah in error, and I stand up before reciting the tashahhud, is sujud al-sahw required of me or not? May Allah reward you with good. Yes, if you sit after the first rak'ah or after the third rak'ah in a state of forgetfulness and distraction, and you stand up before reciting the tashahhud, is sujud al-sahw required of you?
Answer:
If you sit in a place where sitting is not prescribed, such as sitting after the first rak'ah of the prayer, or after the third rak'ah of a four-rak'ah prayer in a state of forgetfulness, then you stand up and complete the remainder of your prayer, and you perform sujud al-sahw. You perform sujud al-sahw, and it is better for your prostration in this case to be after the taslim; because it is due to an addition in the prayer. And if you prostrate before the taslim, there is no harm in that. Yes.
