Question
Assalamu Alaykum Sheikh If I prayed the two sunna rakats after maghrib with all of the fara’id and sunnah except not reciting durood Ibrahim after tashahud (i.e., recited tashahud and gave salam immediately), is my prayer valid.
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, most Merciful.
Wa Alykum Assalam, Yes, any prayer without sending the Prophet’s blessings (Peace and blessings be upon him) during the last sitting is valid because this action is not from the prayer’s integrals (Arkan/Fard).
Nonetheless, leaving it continuously without excuse is a minor sin because this action is from the prayer’s emphasized sunna.
