Q 2: A man, who led us in Salah (Prayer), performed an extra Sujud (prostration), i.e. he performed three Sujud in one Rak‘ah (unit of Prayer). What is the ruling on this Rak‘ah? A: If the Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) intentionally performs an extra Sujud in any Rak‘ah, his Salah will be Batil (null and void). But if he does it by mistake and performs Sujud-ul-Sahw (Prostration of Forgetfulness), his Salah will be valid. (Part No. 6; Page No. 32
