3. Doubt after the time of prayers → ← 1. A doubt about an act for which the time of performance has passed

2. Doubt after salām

Ruling 1165. If a person doubts after the salām of the prayer whether or not his prayer was valid – for example, he doubts whether or not he performed rukūʿ, or after the salām of a four rakʿah prayer he doubts whether he performed four or five rakʿahs – he must dismiss his doubt. However, if both sides of his doubt are such that each possibility would mean his prayer is invalid – for example, after the salām of a four rakʿah prayer he doubts whether he performed three or five rakʿahs, his prayer is invalid.
