An imam who says the closing salam only once
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
So I said: If it were not for shirk (associating partners with Allah), by Allah, we have an imam who says the salam only once in the prayer. What is the ruling on this?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible for an imam. If he is in the Kingdom, it is obligatory that the imam be replaced and that the mosque affairs department be contacted to assist in providing an imam.
The questioner:
If he is outside, it is not a new matter regarding his arrival. He says the salam only once. Does one pray with him one salam or two?
The Shaykh:
He prays behind him. The follower is last. Yes.
