Issue No.1100- Sajdah al-sahw is not required if a person makes an error in some recitation, and then repeats to correct it.
Issue No.1087- One upon whom offering 'Precautionary prayer' is an obligation, should make its intention immediately after reciting the salām of the prayer, and pronounce Allahu Akbar, recite sūrah al-fātiḥa [and not the sūrah recited afterwards in normal prayers], then perform rukū‘ and two sajdahs. If it is a one rak‘at Precautionary prayer, tashahhud and salām of the prayer after the two sajdahs should be recited. However, if it is a two rak‘at Precautionary prayer, after the two sajdahs, another rak‘at like the first one should be performed, with the prayer ending with tashahhud and salām.
Issue No.1088- Precautionary prayer does not have adhān, iqāmah, a sūrah and qunūt, and sūrah al-fātiḥa should be whispered, and the obligatory precaution is that the 'Bismillah' should also be whispered. One should not do any invalidators of prayer between the original obligatory prayer and the Precautionary prayer.
Issue No.1089- If a person realises before starting the Precautionary prayer that the prayer which he had offered was correct, it is not necessary to offer the Precautionary prayer, and if he realises this during the Precautionary prayer, it is not necessary to complete it.
Issue No.1090- If a person becomes certain before starting Precautionary prayer, that the prayer offered contained incomplete rak‘ats (for example, instead of four rak‘ats he had offered three rak‘ats), if he has still not committed an act which would invalidate the prayer, he should complete the prayer and also as an obligatory precaution, perform sajdah al-sahw for the undue salām. However, if he has committed a prayer invalidator, he should repeat the prayer.
Issue No.1091- If a person realises after Precautionary prayer, that the deficiency in his original prayer was equal to Precautionary prayer [for example if he offers one rak‘at of Precautionary prayer in the case of doubt about three and four rak‘ats, and it transpires later that he had actually offered three rak‘ats in the original prayer], his prayer is correct. However, in case it is realized that the deficiency in the original prayer was less than the Precautionary prayer, the deficiency of the prayer should be performed as an obligatory precaution immediately; and the prayer also re-offered. If he comes to know that the deficiency of his original prayer was more than the Precautionary prayer, if he has not committed a prayer invalidator, the obligatory precaution is that he should perform the deficiency of the prayer and then repeat his original prayer as well.
Issue No.1092- If a person doubts whether he has offered the Precautionary prayer which was obligatory on him, if the time of prayer has lapsed, he should ignore the doubt. However, if the time has not passed yet, and he has not performed an act which invalidates the prayer, he should offer the Precautionary prayer and if he has done an act which invalidates the prayer, the obligatory precaution is that he should offer Precautionary prayer and repeat his prayer as well.
