Praise be to Allah.
Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni: When the imaam faces the
people, he greets them with salaam and they respond, then he sits down. Then he
mentioned the hadeeth quoted above, and others. Then he said (may Allaah have mercy on
him): When he greets them with salaam, the people should respond, because it is more
of an obligation to return the greeting than to initiate it. Then he should sit down and
rest until the muadhdhinoon (muezzins) finish. (al-Mughni 2/297). And
Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family.
