The questioner : In the funeral prayer, is the closing salam to the right and left, or to the right only?
The Shaykh : The closing salam in the funeral prayer is to the right only. However, if one says the salam to the right and to the left, there is no blame on him, because the matter is broad in that regard. A report has been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to say the salam to his left as well. Yes.
The questioner : This questioner is from Yemen, O honorable Shaykh.
