Question:
I forgot to do Qunoot in Witr and went to bow. Realizing my mistake once I had reached the bowing position, I instinctively went halfway back up to standing and then realized I should carry on so then varied between the two positions and then carried on as normal. I then made forgetfulness prostrations. I did not pause for more than how long it would take to say “Subhan Allah” three times. Is this salah valid?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
- If qunoot was forgotten and in bowing position or anywhere after, it was remembered that qunoot was missed, then sajda sahwa will suffice.1
- If before going to ruku one realized that he forgot qunoot then one can remain to stand and do qunoot. Sajda sahwa is not required.
- If it was remembered in ruku that he forgot qunoot then continue as normal, don’t return back to do qunoot, and do sajda sahwa at the end.
- If qunoot was forgotten and no sajdah sahwa was done, then witr must be repeated.2
