Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In our country, they say the takbir four times over the deceased and say the salam twice. If a person says the salam only once, there is argument and dispute. So, should they continue with the two salams?

Answer:
Yes, we told you that if the country follows one of the correct opinions, then one should not cause confusion for the people. Go along with them; say the salam twice, and there is no harm. Yes, and leave the arguing and quarreling over matters of scholarly disagreement. Leave that. Yes.
