The Imaam leaves his hands by the sides during Salaat.

Question

The Imaam leaves his hands by the sides during Salaat. Will the Salaat of the followers be valid. They fold their hands. Some people left the Musjid. They refuse to follow this Imaam.

Answer

According to the Maaliki Math-hab, the hands are left at the sides during Salaat. The Salaat of the muqtadis (followers) who fold their hands will be valid behind him. The people who left the Musjid because the Maaliki Imaam was performing Salaat according to his Math-hab, are ignorant. The Imaam being a Maaliki acted correctly. It was improper and stupid for the people to have left the Musjid. They deprived themselves of the blessings of the Musjid.
