Is sajdah as-sahw necessary because of performing a prayer at the time of karahah? For instance, if a person delays performing the afternoon prayer to the time of karahah, does sajdah as-sahw become necessary due to delaying?

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

Sajdah as-sahw (prostration of forgetfulness) is not necessary because of performing a prayer at the time of karahah. Delaying a prayer does not necessitate sajdah as-sahw. The decree is the same whether the prayer is performed individually or in congregation.
