    Sajda Sahw will not be obligatory.

    “The third or fourth Rak’ah of a Fard (obligatory) prayer, reading only Surah Al-Fatihah without adding any other Surah or Ayah, is a Sunnah, not obligatory. Therefore, if someone reads another Surah or Ayah after Surah Al-Fatihah in the third or fourth Rak’ah of a Fard prayer, Sajda Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness) will not be obligatory. This is because reciting other than Al-Fatihah in them is permissible without it being obligatory, and confining oneself to Al-Fatihah is a recommended practice, not obligatory.”

This prohibition is based on several verses in the Quran and best sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that emphasize the unjust and exploitative nature of Riba. One of the fundamental reasons why Riba is considered Haram is because it results in unjust enrichment at the expense of others. Charging interest on loans can lead to a cycle of debt and economic exploitation, especially for those who are already in vulnerable financial positions.
