The Creed of Compassion-Islamic Teachings & Answering Doctrinal Misconceptions

Issue No.1091- If a person realises after Precautionary Prayers, that the deficiency in his original prayers was equal to Precautionary Prayers, like if he offers 1 Rak’at of Precautionary Prayers in the case of doubt about 3 and 4 Rak’ats, and it transpires later that he had actually offered 3 Rak’ats in the original prayers, his prayers will be in order. And if he realises that the deficiency in his original prayers was less than the Precautionary Prayers, he should, as an obligatory precaution, offer the deficiency of the prayers immediately, and should also repeat his original prayers. And if he learns that the deficiency of his original prayers was more than the Precautionary Prayers, if he has not performed an act after the Precautionary Prayers which invalidates the prayers, the obligatory precaution is that he should perform the deficiency of the prayers and then repeat his original prayers as well.

Issue No.1093- The rules of the Precautionary Prayers as to addition or omission of the Rukn and the non-Rukn parts and doubts in performing the parts are the same as those of other obligatory prayers.

Issue No.1095- If an act which is not a Rukn, is omitted or added forgetfully in Precautionary Prayers, it will not be necessary to perform sajdatus sahv for it.

Issue No.1096- If a person forgets Tashahhud or Sajdah in Precautionary Prayers, the obligatory precaution is that he should give its Qadha after Salam.

Issue No.1097- If a man has an obligation to perform Precautionary Prayers, qadha of a Sajdah, or qadha of Tashahhud, or two sajdah sahv, he should first offer Precautionary Prayers, then give the qadha of Sajdah or Tashahhud and then sajdatus sahv.

Issue No.1098- There is no difference between the rules of doubt, forgetting, and probability or strong feeling, regardless of its occurring in the daily obligatory prayers or other obligatory prayers. For example, if one doubts in prayers of Ayaat, whether he has performed 1 Rak’at or 2, his prayers will be void, because it is a doubt which has occurred in a prayers consisting of 2 Rak’ats. Also, the rules of doubt, mistake, and strong feeling will apply to other prayers in the same way as they apply to the daily prayers.

Issue No.1101- If a person says a number of words unwillingly during the prayer, provided that it is counted as speaking once while not disturbing the form of prayer, performing sajdah al-sahw once [1] will be sufficient for all.

Issue No.1103- If a person does not perform sajdah al-sahw after the salām of prayer intentionally, he has sinned, and it is obligatory upon him to perform it as early as possible. The prayer, however, will not be void.

Issue No.1104- If a person doubts whether he has done an act which causes sajdah al-sahw or not, it is not necessary for him to perform it. However, if he doubts whether it is obligatory to perform sajdah al-sahw once or twice, it will be sufficient if he performs only once.

Issue No.1108- With respect to the qaḍā of the Forgotten sajdah and tashahhud, all the conditions of prayer, such as ṭahārah, qiblah, and all other conditions are required, and one should perform the qaḍā immediately after the prayer. Also, when performing the qaḍā of tashahhud, one should perform the salām afterwards.

Issue No.1109- If a person forgets one sajdah and the tashahhud, the obligatory precaution is to first offer the qaḍā of the one he forgot first. If he does not know which one he forgot first, he should, as an obligatory precaution, perform one sajdah, and then a tashahhud, and then perform another sajdah to make sure that he has performed the qaḍā of the sajdah and tashahhud in the order they were missed.

Issue No.1110- If a person performs an act after prayer that disturbs the form of prayer or invalidates the prayer (like turning his back towards the qiblah), he should perform the qaḍā of the sajdah and tashahhud and, as an obligatory precaution, repeat the prayer. If he has done an act that makes sajdah al-sahw obligatory upon him, he should, as an obligatory precaution, perform sajdah al-sahw after performing the qaḍā of sajdah or tashahhud.
