Salat 36: Salām

Rulings Regarding Prayer- Salām

The last obligatory part of prayer which must be performed in the last rak'ah of all prayers after tashahhud is salām, which is considered as a non-rukn obligatory part of prayer.

Every prayer has three salāms:

1-"السلام علیک ایها النبی و رحمه الله و برکاته"

2-"السلام علینا و علی عباد الله الصالحین"

3-"السلام علیکم و رحمه الله و برکاته"

Only the third salām is obligatory and it suffices to recite it.

But if one forgets the salām and the form of the prayer has been broken up by something such as turning their face away from qibla, they do not need to recite salām anymore.

However, if the form of the prayer has not been broken up and they have not done anything that intentionally or even inadvertently invalidates the prayer, in that case they must recite salām. But if the form of the prayer has not been broken up but they have done something that if done intentionally or inadvertently would invalidate the prayer, they must reperform the prayer.
