Haruskah Kita Sholat Lagi Jika Ragu Sudah Sholat atau Belum? | Ustadz Solmed - Damai Indonesiaku

Summary

In this video, Ustaz discusses how to deal with doubts about whether a prayer (salat) has been performed or not. He emphasizes the importance of certainty and advises viewers to trust their memory when unsure. If someone doubts whether they’ve prayed, they should follow the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, which encourages abandoning doubts for certainty. He explains that in cases of uncertainty, one can add extra rakats and avoid making additional prostrations. The key takeaway is to stay confident in one’s actions and not let doubts interfere with religious practices.

Takeaways

Q & A

What should one do if they are unsure whether they have already performed a prayer?

If you are unsure whether you have already performed a prayer, you should trust the certainty that you have done it, as per the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), which says to leave what causes doubt and stick to what is certain.

How does the Hadith guide us when we have doubts about our prayers?

The Hadith guides us by advising to leave what causes doubt and focus on what is certain. This is particularly important when we are unsure if we have performed a particular prayer or not.

What if you are unsure whether you performed the Dhuhr or Duha prayer?

If you're unsure whether you performed Dhuhr or Duha, but you remember doing something close to it, as long as you are certain you have prayed, there’s no need to repeat it. The key is being certain about your prayer, not the doubt.

Is it necessary to perform a new prayer if there’s a doubt about the number of rakaat completed?

No, it is not necessary to repeat the prayer if you are unsure about the number of rakaat. If you're uncertain, you can add an extra rakaat, but there’s no need to perform sujud sahwi (prostration of forgetfulness) unless it’s an intentional addition.

What is the typical situation where people commonly have doubts during prayer?

People often have doubts about the number of rakaat in prayers like Dhuha or the early morning prayer, where they might forget whether they performed 2 or 3 rakaat.

What is the significance of adding an extra rakaat when uncertain about the prayer count?

Adding an extra rakaat is a precautionary measure to ensure the prayer is complete. It helps in cases where a person is uncertain about the exact number of rakaat performed, and it is considered a bonus if done correctly.

Is it permissible to perform sujud sahwi when adding an extra rakaat?

Performing sujud sahwi is a Sunnah (recommended but not obligatory) when adding an extra rakaat, but it’s not required unless it’s specifically necessary due to forgetfulness.

What should a person do if they forget whether they performed a prayer or not, for example, Dhuhr or Asr?

If you forget whether you performed a prayer such as Dhuhr or Asr, but you are certain you did, there’s no need to repeat the prayer. Trust your certainty and move on, as the doubt is not strong enough to invalidate the original prayer.

Can someone claim they didn’t perform a prayer just to avoid the obligation?

No, claiming doubt about whether a prayer was performed to avoid it is not permissible. The doubt must be genuine, not a pretext for neglecting the obligation.

How does memory affect a person's ability to determine if they performed their prayers?

Memory plays a key role in determining if you performed your prayer. If you remember performing the prayer, you should trust that memory. However, if there is genuine uncertainty, the person should evaluate whether the doubt is significant enough to require action.
