Fatwa #626031 July 2002United States of America

If the Jamaat has started, and I am completing my Sunnahs, can I say Salaam early? If so, at what point (pls clarify this point for each of the 4 rakaats or 2 rakaats of Sunnah that we offer)?

Question

i.e., if I?m in the 1st Rakaat, when do I stop, and so on?

Answer

If a person has already commenced with the Sunnat-e-Muakkadah of Dhuhr and
the Jamaat commences, then he should make Salaam after two Rakaats and join
the Jamaat. And if he already commenced with the third Rakaat, then it is
necessary to complete the full four Rakaats. (Bahishti Zewar vol.2 pg.170)

#18332What is the correct sunnah when the child is born? Should the azaan and iqaamah both be given in the right and left ears respectively or only the azaan should be given because the hadith of Hasan bin Ali and Ibn Abbas (RA) is weak and the hadith of Abu Raafi' is authentic? Why is the azaan and iqaamah both encouraged when the ahaadeeth are weak rather, only the azaan should be encouraged because of the authenticity of the hadith. Please clarify.
