The One Taslim and the Two Taslims Behind the Imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the imam says the taslim once in the prayer and limits himself to that, is it permissible for me to say the taslim twice?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm; it is a precaution. Yes, this is a matter of precaution.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you: And conversely, if the imam says the taslim twice, is it permissible for me to limit myself to one? No.
The Shaykh:
No, no, no. Do not contradict the imam. It is obligatory for the ma'mum to follow the imam, especially when the imam is acting in accordance with the Sunnah. He has not done anything contrary to the Sunnah that would warrant you leaving him.
