Namāz of Mo’min

Vājibāt (Pl. of vājib) are essential elements of namāz. Eitherdeliberate or inadvertent omission of any of these essentialelements invalidates the namāz. Sajdah-e sah'v rectifies thenamāz with some inadvertently missed obligations (vājib).Sajdah-e sah'v will become obligatory if any of vājibāt iserroneously missed and one recollects before concluding thenamāz.

If any of vājibāt is deliberately left, then namāz cannot

be rectified even with sajdah-e sah'v and namāz will have tobe repeated.
