The ruling on adding "and His blessings" to the closing salam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have an imam who says when closing the first unit: "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and His blessings," and in the second unit: "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy." What is the ruling on that? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is prescribed that the imam and others restrict the closing salam of the prayer to saying: "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy." As for adding "and His blessings," there is deliberation and scholarly disagreement among the scholars regarding its validity, so the safest course is to leave it out. May Allah grant success.
