Following the Imam in the Closing Salam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to follow the imam in the closing salam?
Answer:
No, one does not follow the imam in the salam; rather, one says it after him. This is because the actions of the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) occur after the imam's actions, not before them or simultaneously with them.
