Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is meant by the hadith "Do not turn away before the imam"? This is in the hadith
Answer:
The meaning of turning away, and Allah knows best, is turning one’s face toward them after the taslim. That is, when the imam says the taslim, do not rush to stand up and turn away before the imam turns his face toward the people. This is because something unexpected may occur, or the prayer may have been incomplete. So, when they turn away and he turns toward the people, it indicates that the prayer has ended. Is there any obstacle to your turning away?
