The Ma'mum looking at the Imam when saying Taslim

522

Q 2: Is it necessary to recite Taslim (salutation of peace ending the Prayer) at the end of Salah (Prayer) until the Ma'mum (a person being led by an Imam in Prayer) can see the face of the Imam? Or is it sufficient that he may say: "Al-Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatu Allah" (Peace and mercy of Allah upon you) with a little turning of the face? What is the ruling on that?

A: Both Imam and Ma'mum should turn the neck right and left upon reciting the Taslim at the end of Salah until people can see the face of the Imam. However, this is not obligatory, it is an act of Sunnah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
