LessonsA Complete Prayer: Step by StepQuiz

After the second Sajdah of the second rak'ah:
• a man sits in Iftirash: on the left foot with the right foot upright;
• a woman uses the Tawarruk posture described by the source;
• place the hands on the thighs;
• recite the Tashahhud and make the index-finger gesture at the testimony.

In a three- or four-rak'ah prayer, do not add Salawat and dua to the first sitting; after Tashahhud, rise for the next rak'ah without undue delay. In the later Fard rak'ahs, recite al-Fatihah as Sunnah.
