The Imam Raising His Voice in the Closing Salam and the Prostration for Forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: An imam led a congregation in prayer, then said the closing salam in a low voice after finishing the prayer, and forgot to face the qiblah. After that, he raised his voice in the salam again. Does he have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness? What is the ruling?
Answer:
If they did not hear him, he should raise his voice in the salam and not perform the prostration for forgetfulness. He raises his voice so that the ma'mum (those praying behind him) can hear him and say the salam with him, and he does not perform the prostration for forgetfulness. Yes.
