The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
An additional chapter or verses after al-Fatiha is not read in the third or fourth rak’ah of a fard prayer. However, sajdah as-sahw is not necessary for a person who reads it. (Büyük İslam İlmihali, Namazla ilgili bölüm madde: 330; Prof. Dr. Wahba Zuhayli, İslam Fıkhı Ansiklopedisi, II/40)
