The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: What is the ruling on the ma'mum saying the closing salam before his imam? And is there a position in some schools of jurisprudence regarding this?
The Shaykh:
If he says the closing salam before his imam, his prayer is invalid. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
If he did it intentionally, his prayer is invalid. But if he was forgetful or thought the imam had already said the salam, he should return and rejoin his imam, saying the salam after him. He returns to the prayer, meaning he re-enters the prayer; when his imam says the salam, he says it after him. Yes.
