Fatwa #45193 January 2002United States of America

During my trip to India, I once observed that in a mosque after the completion of Friday prayers, few people who stayed behind rose up, and started reciting in chorus “ The Salaam".

Question

It went kind of like this: "Ya Nabiyyun SalaamuAlayka.........." What is this? Are we supposed to say this or join in the recitation?

Answer

This is an innovation prevalent in India. One should not join in such acts
of bidah.
