Issue 596: If a person has to offer one Rak'at of Ihtiyat prayer, they must pronounce the testimony as well as the salutation after the second prostration of such prayer, but if he/she has to offer two Rak’ats of Ihtiyat prayer, must not perform the testimony and salutation in the first Rak'at, but offer them after performing the second Rak'at (without Takbeerat-ul-Ihram).

Q597: Does it matter if a person pronounces three Takbeers after finishing their salutation and before performing the Ihtiyat prayer or the Sahv prostration? If so, then what will the case of those previous prayers offered in this manner be?

A: As for their previous prayers, it does not matter due to their ignorance about the issue. Regarding Ihtiyat prayer, nothing -even three Takbeers- must cause to allow a time gap between one's prayer and the corresponding Ihtiyat prayer.

Issue 598: The rules of doubt, forgetting and guess, apply to all obligatory prayers, whether daily or other; For instance, if one doubts whether they have offered one or two Rak'ats of Ayaat prayer, since it is a case of doubt over a two-Rak'at prayer, their prayer will be void
