Question
Some musallis after the Fardh Salaat immediately get up and walk out of the saff. They don't wait until the Imaam has completed the Dua. Is this not disrespectful?
Answer
It is not disrespectful for anyone to walk out of the Saff whilst the Imaam is making Dua. After the Imaam's Salaam, everyone is free to move away. In fact, the musallis engaging in long duas after the Fardh Salaat are inconveniencing those who wish to move to the back to perform their Sunnat and Nafl Salaat. Whilst Salafis do not make dua at all, we make a short Dua after the Fardh of Zuhr, Maghrib and Isha. After the Fardh Salaat, the musallis should remain seated for the duration of the short Allaahumma antas salaam dua. Thereafter they are free to leave the saff.
