Tips for Improving Focus in Salah When Forgetting Rakat and Sajda

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If one has a habit of forgetting multiple things in a Salaah such as number of rakat, number of sajda, first tashahud and so forth, how that person would perform his salah?

Bismillaah

A: He should just base his action on the dominant thought.

( وإذا شك ) في صلاته ( من لم يكن ذلك ) أي الشك ( عادة له ) وقيل من لم يشك في صلاة قط بعد بلوغه وعليه أكثر المشايخ بحر عن الخلاصة ( كما صلى استأنف ) بعمل مناف وبالسلام قاعدا أولى لأنه المحلل ( وإن كثر ) شكه ( عمل بغالب ظنه إن كان ) له ظن للحرج ( وإلا أخذ بالأقل ) لتيقنه (الدر المختار 2/ 92-93)
