Q: If one prays behind the imaam, and after the imaam has finished both taslims the congregation gives the taslim to both sides (this is the custom method in the masjid I am going thus I also follow this) If after the imaams both taslims, I do give taslim to the right side and then to the left side, but I do repeat the taslim to the left side (because of a doubt that I didn’t hear myself saying a small portion of the taslim).
Did this break my salaat? Did I had to do sajdah sahw or what did I have to do? Is my salaat complete. I didn’t repeat it, if I have to repeat it when must I repeat, is this after 5 salaat times are past away since the the order is waived and the salaats after the salaah which has to be repeated are then valid and no need to repeat those salaats also?
In such case is there a circumstance that the taslim to leftside is considered delayed and thus must be sajdah sahw? Or does it not so count since I did it because of a doubt ? In case that the first taslim I thought I had not heard a portion of it, was done correctly, does the addition of the repeating change anything, or is it not to be considered since I am then already out of salaah and nothing matters what I do say after the taslim to the leftside?
A: The salaah is done with the first time you made salaam to the left. Hence, the second was done out of salaah and you don’t have to worry.
( 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 في الأصح وتنقطع به ا التحريمة بتسليمة واحدة (الدر المختار 1/524)
