The questioner : If one omits the first tashahhud and stands up, but then returns before completing the standing
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Is sujud al-sahw prescribed for him or not, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : If one forgets the first tashahhud and stands up, but does not fully straighten up, he must return if he remembers, because he has not reached the pillar that follows it. But is sujud al-sahw obligatory for him or not? Some scholars said: Sujud al-sahw is not obligatory for him, because he has not reached the pillar that follows it, and there is a hadith regarding this matter that contains some weakness. Others said: One should look at the situation; if he is closer to the standing, sujud al-sahw is obligatory for him, and if he is closer to the sitting, sujud al-sahw is not obligatory for him. If he prostrates, we do not disapprove of it, and if he does not prostrate, we do not order him to do so.
