Issue No. 1074Doubt in Recommended Prayers

The Duty of One Who Doubts in Recommended Prayers

Issue No. 1074 - In recommended prayers; one should act, as an obligatory precaution, upon his own presumption, so far that it does not invalidate the prayer. For example, if he presumes that he has offered two rak‘ats, he should pay heed to that probability, and if he presumes that he has offered three rak‘ats, he should consider himself offered only two rak‘ats.

Issue No. 1075Doubt in Recommended Prayers

There Is no Sajdah al-Sahw for Recommended Prayers

Issue No. 1075 - There is no sajdah al-sahw for recommended prayers. That is to say, sajdah al-sahw is not necessary, if a person in recommended prayers performs an act, which, if he had performed it in an obligatory prayer, it would have been necessary for him to do sajdah al-sahw. Also, forgotten sajdah and tashahhud in recommended prayers have no qaḍā.

Issue No. 1080Miscellaneous Issues regarding Doubts

If the Presumption Is Initially Inclined to One Side and Then He Doubts

Issue No. 1080 - If initially the presumption of a person is inclined to one side, and later both sides [of the doubt] become equal bearing the situation of doubt, he should act according to the rules of doubt. On the contrary, if initially the situation of doubt existed but later was inclined to one side, he should act according to his presumption. However, if the doubt is among invalidator doubts and if it persisted at first, one should start the prayer afresh even though it may have changed into a presumption of the other side.

Issue No. 1082Miscellaneous Issues regarding Doubts

When One Doubts If He Has Performed the Two Sajdahs or Not

Issue No. 1082 - If a person is reciting tashahhud or enters the following rak‘at and doubts whether he has performed the two sajdahs or not, and at the same time falls again into a type of doubt [about the rak‘ats] which would be valid only if it occurred after completing two sajdahs (e.g. doubt between two and three rak‘ats), in this case, one should assume that he has performed two sajdahs and should act according to the rules of doubt, making his prayer would be correct. However, if the doubt occurs when the time of sajdah has not passed yet, the prayer will be void.

Issue No. 1083Miscellaneous Issues regarding Doubts

When the First Doubt Changes in to a New Doubt

Issue No. 1083 - If the first doubt changes into a new doubt, he should act according to the rules of the second doubt. For example, if he doubted first whether he had offered two or three rak‘ats, and later he becomes sure that he had performed three rak‘ats and doubts whether he has offered three or four rak‘ats, he should act according to the rules of the second doubt.

Issue No. 1085 - If a doubt in which one rak‘at of Precautionary prayer in standing posture or two rak‘at in sitting posture is required, occurs for a person who performs prayer in sitting posture, he should perform one rak‘at in sitting posture. And if a doubt in which two rak‘ats of Precautionary prayer in standing posture is required, occurs, he should perform two rak‘ats in sitting posture. The same ruling applies in other doubts.

Issue No. 1086Miscellaneous Issues regarding Doubts

One Who Becomes Incapable of Standing for Iḥtīyāṭ Prayer

Issue No.1086- If a person, who normally offers prayer in standing posture becomes unable to stand while offering Precautionary prayer, he should follow the ruling of one who offers prayer in sitting posture, which was explained in the previous issue.

Issue No. 1090

Realizing the Shortage of Rak’ats before Offering Ihtiyat Prayers

Issue No.1090- If a person becomes certain before starting Precautionary Prayers, that the prayers he had offered had lesser Rak’ats (for example, instead of 4 Rak’ats he had offered 3 Rak’ats), if he has still not performed an act which would invalidate the prayers, he should complete those parts of the prayers that he had not performed, and as a precaution, also perform 2 Sajdatus Sahv for the extra Salam. And if he has performed an act which invalidates prayers, he should repeat the prayers.
