If the Imam makes a mistake in the qiraat of the salaah and three ayats were not recited nor was one long ayat recited, should the salaah be repeated or does sajda-e-sawh rectify the mistake?
Question
The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
If the Imam makes a mistake in the qiraat of the salaah and three ayats were not recited nor was one long ayat recited, should the salaah be repeated or does sajda-e-sawh rectify the mistake?
Answer
We assume that Surah Fatiha was recited.
If Sajdah-e-Sahw was made, the Salaat is valid. If Sajdah-e-Sahw was not made, and the time of that Salaat has not expired, it should be repeated. If the time has expired, then should make Tawbah and Istighfaar. In that the Salaat does not have to be repeated.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
