The Ruling on Returning the Salam and Sending Blessings upon the Prophet in the Sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on returning the salam, saying "Ameen," and sending blessings upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) during the sermon?
Answer:
Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is done when one hears the imam sending blessings upon him, but one should not raise his voice; rather, he should say it only as much as he can hear himself. As for returning the salam, one does not return the salam; because this is speech, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade speech during the sermon. Yes.
