The questioner : When does the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) say the closing salam: after the second one or after the first one for the imam?
The Shaykh : We believe it is after the first closing salam.
And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. This is because it is established in the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes limited himself to one closing salam, and most of the time he said two closing salams. The intended meaning of his statement (peace and blessings be upon him) is the first closing salam. That is, if the one praying says the first closing salam, he has exited the prayer. If he wants to follow the recommended practice, he says the second closing salam. If he limits himself to the first one, it is permissible. Therefore, when the imam exits the prayer with the first closing salam, the follower must follow him with this closing salam and not wait for the first closing salam because
The student: The second one.
The Shaykh : of the second closing salam. This is because the ruling of the second closing salam is different from the first. We know that the first is a pillar of the prayer, and the prayer is not valid without it, according to the majority of scholars, contrary to the Hanafis, who believe that the closing salam is merely obligatory. As for the second closing salam, it is a recommended practice (sunnah).

The Shaykh : this is the meaning of their statement. This is the meaning of their statement. And therefore they said, by what does one exit? They said, by his own intention to intentionally exit.
The questioner : By the intention.
The Shaykh : As for what is the means? The salam. They even said to him, if it is a foul smell.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, Glory be to Allah. With his statement (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Abi Dawud 61Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani), the point is that we see that each closing salam is distinct, and each closing salam has a ruling different from the other. So his statement to the end of the hadith that we have mentioned repeatedly: one should follow the imam in every remembrance. If he says the salam, we say it with him. If he says the second one, we say it with him. If he is content with the first one,
The questioner : But Shaykh...
The Shaykh : Yes, please go ahead.
The Shaykh : We believe it is after the first closing salam.
