AL-KAFI #694 : PERLUKAH SUJUD SAHWI JIKA IMAM MENINGGALKANNYA ?
Must a follower perform the prostration of forgetfulness after the imam gives the salam if the imam missed or deliberately omitted the Fajr qunut and did not perform it?
Short answer
An imam who misses or deliberately omits the Fajr qunut is recommended to perform the prostration of forgetfulness, but his prayer is not invalidated if he does not, since the prostration is recommended when certain causes occur.

Summary
An imam who misses or deliberately omits the Fajr qunut is recommended to perform the prostration of forgetfulness, but his prayer is not invalidated if he does not, since the prostration is recommended when certain causes occur. A follower is required to follow the imam, so if the imam prostrates, the follower prostrates too. If the imam does not prostrate, the follower need not do so after the imam gives the salam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya imam melakukan sujud sahwi, hendaklah dia turut melakukannya. Namun sekiranya imam tidak melakukan sujud sahwi (apabila telah berlaku sebab yang menuntut), maka tidak perlu untuk makmum melakukannya setelah imam memberi salam.
