Sunan
of Performing Salām
1.
Performing
Salām twice uttering the following words:
اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیْکُمْ وَرَحْمَۃُاللّٰہ
2.
Turning
the face to the right side first and then
3.
The
left side.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
535, vol. 1)
4.
Saying
both Salām loudly is a Sunnaĥ for the Imām, but the voice of the second Salām
should be lower than the first one.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
294, vol. 2)
5.
As
soon as the Imām utters the word اَلسَّلَام
while performing the first Salām, his Ṣalāĥ will finish even if he has not yet
uttered the word عَلَیْکُمْ; therefore, if any
latecomer joined the Jamā'at after the Imām had already uttered the word اَلسَّلَام, his Iqtidā would not be valid. However, his
Iqtidā will be valid if the Imām, having performed the first Salām, performs
Sajda-e-Sahw provided Sajda-e-Sahw had become Wājib.
(Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp.
292, vol. 2)
6.
When
the Imām turns his face to the right and left side while performing Salām, he
should make the intention of saying Salām to the people offering Ṣalāĥ at his
right and left side respectively; but he should not intend to say Salām to any
woman (even if she is present in the Jamā'at). Further, he should also intend
to say Salām to Kirāman Kātibīn (angels deputed for writing deeds) as well as
the angels deputed for safeguard during both Salāms, but he should not fix any
number in the intention.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
294, vol. 2)
7.
Muqtadī
(the one offering Ṣalāĥ with Jamā'at) should also intend to say Salām to the
people and angels on both sides, further, he should also make intention for the
Imām while performing Salām towards the side where the Imām is present. If the
Imām is in front of the Muqtadī, he should intend to say Salām to the Imām while
performing both Salāms. A Munfarid should intend to say Salām to the angels
only.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
299, vol. 2)
8.
Muqtadī's
transitions i.e. Rukū', Sujūd etc. should be with those of Imām's.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
535, vol. 1)
Sunan
after Performing the Salām
9.
It
is a Sunnaĥ for the Imām either to turn right or left after performing Salām;
turning to right side is preferable. To sit facing the Muqtadīs is also
permissible provided that not a single person is offering Ṣalāĥ in front of
Imām's face up to the last Ṣaf.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
537, vol. 1)
10.
It
is permissible for a Munfarid to ask supplication without turning any side.
(Fatāwa-e-'Ālamgīrī,
pp. 77, vol. 1)
Sunan
of the Sunan-e-Ba'diyyaĥ
(The Sunan after the Farāiḍ)
11.
Talking
should be avoided after the Farḍ Ṣalāĥ that is followed by Sunnaĥ Ṣalāĥ. Even
though the Sunan will be valid in spite of talking but their Šawāb will be
reduced. To delay the Sunan is Makrūĥ; similarly, lengthy Awrād (invocations)
are not permitted (between the Farḍ and the Sunan Ṣalāĥ).
(Ghunyaĥ, pp. 343)
(Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp. 300, vol. 2)
12.
After
the Farḍ that is followed by Sunnaĥ, Du'ā should be brief; otherwise, the Šawāb
of the Sunan will be reduced.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
539, vol. 1)
13.
Even
though it is correct that talking between Farḍ and Sunnaĥ does not invalidate
Sunnaĥ, but their Šawāb is reduced; the same ruling applies to every such act
that contradicts Taḥrīmaĥ.
(Tanvīr-ul-Abṣār, pp.
558, vol. 2)
14.
Do
not offer Sunnaĥ Ṣalāĥ at the same place where Farḍ Ṣalāĥ was offered, instead,
it should be offered at a different place such as right or left or front or
rear side or at home.
(Fatāwa-e-'Ālamgīrī,
pp. 77, vol. 1)
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
302, vol. 2)
(There is no harm in the pause
taking place as a result of going home for offering Sunnaĥ Ṣalāĥ. However, it
is a sin to pass across the front of a Muṣallī or face his front for changing
the place or going home; if there is no space to go, offer Sunnaĥ Ṣalāĥ at the
same place).
صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَی الْحَبِیْب صَلُّوْا
عَلَی الْحَبِیْب
An
Important Ruling of the Sunan
The Islamic brothers who engage in
talking and walking having offered Sunan-e-Qabliyaĥ or Ba'diyyaĥ should learn a
lesson from the following blessed Fatwa of A'lā Ḥaḍrat رَحْمَۃُاللّٰہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہ. Therefore, replying
to a question, A'lā Ḥaḍrat رَحْمَۃُاللّٰہِ تَعَالٰی
عَلَیْہ said, "The best time for the Sunan-e-Qabliyaĥ is the
initial time (of the Ṣalāĥ) provided talking or any other act that contradicts
Ṣalāĥ is avoided between the Farḍ and the Sunnaĥ. As for Sunan-e-Ba'diyyaĥ, it
is Mustaḥab to offer them immediately after the Farāiḍ; there is no harm in the
pause taking place as a result of going home to offer them at home. However,
the pause due to contradictory acts should be avoided; such a pause will result
in the loss of the Šawāb of the Sunan-e-Qabliyaĥ as well as Ba'diyyaĥ and will
render them out of the prescribed Sunnaĥ method."
(Fatāwā Raḍawiyyah
(Jad īd), pp. 139, vol. 5)
Sunan
for Islamic Sisters
1. It is a Sunnaĥ for the Islamic sisters
to raise their hands to their shoulders whilst uttering Takbīr-e-Taḥrīmaĥ and
Takbīr-e-Qunūt.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
222, vol. 2) (Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp. 222, vol. 2)

(Fatāwa-e-'Ālamgīrī,

Sajdaĥ keeping their body parts close together, i.e. arms touching body sides,
