Sajdah Sahw

QUESTION:

Sajdah Sahw has to be made if thinking takes so long that in that time Sub’haanallah can be recited three times. My question is how many seconds is that time?

ANSWER:

In this question the time considered is the amount of time it takes to recite three Tasbeehs of Ruku or Sajdah. Every individual will calculate this by himself. However, he can say that it is approximately 5 seconds.

And AllãhTa’ãla knows best
