Salaami at a Function: Is Ignorance an Excuse?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If I attended a function where salaami took place, but I was not aware that this would happen and neither did I stand during the salaami, is there any sin committed on my part? If yes how can this be rectified?

Bismillaah

A: No, you will not be sinful.

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