Question

Assalamu alaikum
Is sajda-e-sahw necessary if i accidentally sit and recite tashahhud in the first rakaat of prayer. What if i just sat for tashahud in first rakaat and i immediately stood up for second rakaat.

Answer

WaʿAlaykumus Salām Wa Raḥmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh

Yes, in such an instance the performance of Sajdah al-Sahw will be necessary for the fact that the standing posture for the second Rakʿah was delayed whether done intentionally or unintentionally.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
