Question:
A questioner asked: What is the ruling on the one who says the closing salam before the imam? Does he repeat his prayer, or does he perform the prostration for forgetfulness?
Answer:
If he did it intentionally, his prayer is invalid. As for if he did not intend it, and he said the salam, and then he realized it was before the imam, he returns to his prayer. He returns to his prayer and says the salam after the imam, and he owes nothing. Yes.
