Muqtadi making salaam immediately after the imaam makes salaam

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2022-12-31 07:53

Q: Should a muqtadi make salaam after the Imaam has completed both sides salaam or should he make salaam afer the Imaam turns his head towards the right and then after the Imaam turns his head to left the we follow the Imaam, as we normally do?

Some people in Saudia told me that I should wait until the Imaam is done with salam on both sides then make salaam. Which method is correct?

A: When the imaam makes the first salaam, the muqtadi should immediately follow him and make salaam.

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