ANSWER: What you did was wrong. It’s not permissible to sit down when you have already stood up for the rakah. You should have continued your 3rd rakah and after completing the final tashahhud, before salam you should have made sujood as sahu for missing the 1st tashahhud and then made salam. Sujood As Sahu […]

While in prayer if by mistake you started reciting something which is not supposed to be recited at that position do you stop as soon as you realize or complete the verse and then stop?
