Q&A/Fatwas

If I’m uncertain for example in salah that whether I’m on 3rd rakat or fourth rakat. Islam says to skip 3rd rakat because I should not pay attention to doubts after being certain about something. But Islam also says to pray 3rd rakat so I could go with what I’m certain about. Could you please tell me which way is correct?
