Question:
We prayed behind an imam who, when he said the closing salam, said, "Peace be upon you and His mercy," and "Peace be upon you and His mercy." Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is not permissible, because this is contrary to what was transmitted. What was transmitted is "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy." That is what was transmitted. So using the pronoun, the third-person pronoun, "Peace be upon you and His mercy," is contrary to what was transmitted. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
