Q:
1. If I am praying 4 rakah salah and in the last rakah I doubted whether I prayed 4 or 5 rakah… as there is no 5 rakahs so I base myself on 4 rakahs and complete my prayer without doing sajda e sahw…is my prayer is valid?
2. Do I have to do sajda e sahw in this situation?
A:
1. Yes.
2. No.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
