Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person says the closing salam only once at the end of the prayer out of forgetfulness, is it said that his prayer is valid, or is he required to do something?
Answer:
If he remembers soon, while he is still in his place of prayer, he says the second salam. But if the time has passed and a long interval has elapsed, or if his ablution has been broken, we hope that his prayer is valid. Yes.
