Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, he says: When the imam completes the recitation of the Qur'an in Ramadan, some of the worshippers stand up to greet him and congratulate him. This happens in Ramadan. Is this a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
Answer:
This is always, and since it is a recommended practice (sunnah), it is not permissible [to abandon it]. However, if one does it occasionally, there is no harm in that. And the salam is required. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
