Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So I was reading 2 sunah rakaats of maghrib and in the second rakah I was having doubts on whether I did the ruku position but I ignored this as I am pretty sure I wouldn\u2019t have missed this step out in my salah. I finished my salah and did my dhikr but then the doubts kept coming so I just prayed the 2 sunnah rakahs again. Was I right in doing this or should I have started the whole prayer again? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I read somewhere that if you have the intention that your finished your salah then you should start again but I didn\u2019t as I assumed that I did do the ruku step so I just repeated the sunnah.<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The principle in Shari\u2019ah is that certainty is not removed by doubts. So if you convinced you made the ruku, then the salah would be fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you repeat it as a matter of precaution then It would be well and good as this is ibadah. But the salah itself would be valid and accepted if you didn\u2019t repeat it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If it was the case you missed the ruku in the sunnah salah, you wouldn\u2019t have to repeat the whole salah from the fardh and the sunnah. You only repeat the sunnah.<\/span><\/p>\n
