If this is observed, along with reciting al-Fātiḥah and the minimum final tashahhud , ṣalāt upon our beloved Prophet, and the salām, the prayer is valid, even if done quickly.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fef0b76658b4c232985","tag":"Salah: Validity","count":156}],"createdOn":"2024-12-27T02:13:01.891Z"}
