The Details of the Question
When reading a sajdah ayat in prayer you normally go down and do the sajdah then stand up and continue your Salah. What if by mistake instead of standing up again I continue my prayer from the sajdah, and later in the prayer I realize that I didn't stand up but continued my prayer? Would I have to redo my Salah or is doing Sajde sahw permissible?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Yes, you must repeat the prayer because the obligatory act of bowing (ruku‘) has not been fulfilled, and the prostration of forgetfulness (sajdat al-sahw) does not make up for it.
