Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the imam feels or senses disturbance from the ma'mum's recitation behind him, what should he do? Is it permissible for him to gesture with his hand toward the back to make them silent?
Answer:
What did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do? The Messenger continued in his prayer and did not ask about it except after finishing the prayer. So the imam does this when he says the taslim, meaning he points this out, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed it out. Yes.
