The Concept Of Pillars Of Prayer In The Context Of Sajda-e-Sehaw
These wajibaat (pillars) of prayers have been mentioned in Fiqh, which is a work of scholars, nothing has been explicitly described by the Prophet Muhammad (Sws) himself. Therefore, these pillars and their categorization into wajibaat etc. has no basis whatsoever. Ghamidi Sahab doesn not consider there to be any wajibaat of Salah, the way traditional fiqh does. The principle of Sajda-e-Sehaw is very simple. If you can rectify your mistake/doubt, then do it and perform Sajda-e-Sehaw, and if rectification is not possible, then simply perform Sajda-e-Sehaw. The whole point of Sajda-e-Sehaw is to save people the trouble of repeating prayers, becasue this compensates for their mistakes. If one has to repeat their prayyer, then what’s the point of Sajda-e-Sehaw in the first place.
