Salaah behind an Imaam who made one Salaam

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I am in Oman. When I went to perform my namaz in the musjid I was confused with the way the Imam performed his namaz. The Imaam came and stood on the musallah and without raising his hand up he said allahu akbar and started praying namaz and at the last rakaat the Imaam said only once Assalaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi and moved his head right and left with one salaam. Is my namaz behind this imaam correct? Or what must I do?

Bismillaah

A: Your namaaz is valid. You should make two salaams.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

إسماعيل بن محمد بن سعد عنه عن أبيه قال كنت أرى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يسلم عن يمينه وعن يساره حتى أرى بياض خده (صحيح مسلم #582)

عن عبد الله : عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم أنه كان يسلم عن يمينه وعن يساره السلام عليكم ورحمة الله السلام عليكم ورحمة الله قال أبو عيسى حديث ابن مسعود حديث حسن صحيح (جامع الترمذي #295)

فصل ( وإذا أراد الشروع في الصلاة كبر ) … ( ثم يسلم عن يمينه ويساره ) حتى يرى بياض خده ولو عكس سلم عن يمينه فقط ولو تلقاء وجهه سلم عن يساره أخرى ولو نسي اليسار أتى به ما لم يستدبر القبلة (الدر المختار 3/ 479- 524)
