Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: When saying the salam in the prayer, one says, “As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.” Is it permissible for him to add “and His blessings”?
Answer:
No. The practice is to say “As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah” and not to say “and His blessings,” because this causes confusion among the people. Yes.
