The Sufficiency of a Single Taslim in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Or does the first taslim suffice in the required prayer, and the second taslim is dropped in that case?
The Shaykh:
The correct view is that it does not suffice. The correct and stronger position in the madhhab is that it does not suffice except with two taslims, which are a pillar of the prayer. There is a narration in the madhhab that one taslim is sufficient, and there is a view that one taslim is sufficient in the voluntary prayer. However, the stronger position is that the obligatory prayer requires two taslims. This is the stronger position, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do this: he would say taslim to his right and say taslim to his left. This is what is established from his Sunnah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 6008, and he used to say taslim twice, to his right and to his left. Taa.
The questioner:
And between what exactly was she fasting Ramadan, and then it became...
The Shaykh:
That is, it is the release from the prayer. The release from the prayer. They took from it that one is sufficient. Yes.
