Is it necessary to perform the prostration of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw) if someone recites a surah or verse in the third or fourth unit (rak'ah) of obligatory prayers?

AnswerEditorialShejire Editorial

Reciting a surah or verse after Al-Fatiha in the third or fourth rak'ah of obligatory prayers is contrary to the Sunnah. However, if a surah is recited by mistake—even though this delays the obligatory bowing (ruku') and prostration (sujood)—since standing (qiyam) is the place for recitation (qira'ah), it is not necessary to perform the prostration of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw) in this case (Ibn Nujaym, al-Bahr, 2/102).
