Delaying the taslim behind the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: One of the worshippers delays the taslim after the final tashahhud, after the imam has already said the taslim, by half a minute or more. He always does this. I asked him about it, and he said, "I do not do it intentionally, because there is no prohibition against it."
Answer:
The ma'mum follows the imam. If the imam says the taslim, he says it with him, unless he has not completed the tashahhud. If he has not completed the tashahhud, he completes it and then says the taslim. But if he has completed the tashahhud, he does not delay behind the imam, for the imam is appointed to be followed. Yes.
