When does the follower give salams?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Mufti Yusuf Mullan

According to hanafi school, when praying behind an imam, at the end of the prayer, should one say salaam along with the imam or after the imam has completed both his salaams?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. May his abundant blessings be showered on his beloved prophet, the best of creation.

The opinion relied upon for fatwa in the Hanafi school as quoted by Ibn Abideen is for the follower to begin his salaam towards the end of the Imam’s first salaam. Likewise begin the second towards the end of the Imam’s second salaam. This is the more preferable method of following the Imam as adopted by the later scholars of the school.

For one to say the salaams alongside the Imam is also permissible. Doing so will not detract from the validity or soundness of the prayer.

And Allah knows best.

( قوله مع الإمام ) متعلق بالتحريمة ، فإن المراد بها هنا المصدر أي كما يحرم مع الإمام ، وإنما جعل التحريمة مشبها بها لأن المعية فيها رواية واحدة عن الإمام ، بخلاف السلام فإن فيه روايتين عنه أصحهما المعية ح ( قوله وقالا الأفضل فيهما بعده ) أفاد أن خلاف الصاحبين في الأفضلية وهو الصحيح نهر . وقيل في الجواز حتى لا يصح الشروع بالمقارنة في إحدى الروايتين عن أبي يوسف ويكون مسيئا عند محمد كما في البدائع . وفي القهستاني : وقال السرخسي : إن قوله أدق وأجود وقولهما أرفق وأحوط . وفي عون المروزي : المختار للفتوى في صحة الشروع قوله وفي الأفضلية قولهما . ا هـ . وفي التتارخانية عن المنتقى المقارنة على قوله كمقارنة حلقة الخاتم والأصبع . والبعدية على قولهما أن يوصل المقتدي همزة الله براء أكبر .
