The direction the imam turns after the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In our country, the imam sometimes turns to the right after the prayer, sometimes to the left, and sometimes toward the congregation. He says that this is from the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Answer:
There is no specific ruling on this; he turns in whichever direction is easiest for him. There is no fixed rule, and I do not know that this is from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
