Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 842/842=M/1430)

It is against sunnah to recite any surah in third and fourth rak?ah of fardh after Surah Fatihah, one should not do so. But if someone does so, sajdah sahv will not be wajib:

قال في المنية وشرحها فإن ضم السورة إلى الفاتحة ساهيا يجب عليه سجدتا السهو في قول أبي يوسف لتأخير الركوع عن محله وفي أظهر الروايات لا يجب لأن القراءة فيهما مشروعة من غير تقدير والاقتصار على الفاتحة مسنون لا واجب (شامي)
