He said the salam from the prayerسلم من صلاة
the voluntary prayer with only one closing salam?

The Shaykh:
Yes, this has come. It has come that one closing salam is sufficient for the voluntary prayer, and many scholars have held this view. Yes.

The questioner:
And is it permissible for the imam to do that in the tarawih prayer and others?

The Shaykh:
No, I told you, the imam should not cause confusion, he should not confuse the people. He should not give them things they do not know and confuse them. Leave the confusion of the people alone. If you pray for yourself, do as you please between you and Allah. But if you pray with people and confuse them, no. Yes.
