Durood Sharif in Salah (1/2)
Question
Q. What is the procedure when the imaam makes salaam and I completed at tahiyaat but did not yet complete reciting durood?
Answer
A.You will make Salaam with the Imam. The Imam’s recitation of the Salaat and Salaam (durood) and the Dua before Salaam is sufficient for you. (Ahsanul Fatawa)
Nasihah (Advice): Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that the Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Whoever prays Salaah in congregation with the first Takbir (i.e. from the very commencement of the Salaah) he will be declared free from two things: free from the fire of hell and free from hypocrisy” (Tirmizi, Hadith #: 241)
The Hadith indicates that being particular about getting the Takbiratul Ula in congregation assists a person in self-reformation and distances him from actions that cause hypocrisy and lead to Jahannum.
