In the third and fourth Rak’ahs of a four-Rak’ah (unit) prayer, it is recommended (Sunnah) to recite only Surah Al-Fatiha and not to add another Surah after it. However, if you do accidentally recite another Surah after Surah Al-Fatiha, it does not necessitate Sujood As-Sahw (the prostration of forgetfulness).
Furthermore, if you remember in the third or fourth Rak’ah, while reciting another Surah after Surah Al-Fatiha, that you need to perform Rukoo’ (bowing), you should pause your recitation, bow, and then continue with your prayer as usual.
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.”
