Salam,

When i pray my tashoud i keep my finger up till the end. I am praying behind an imam and i've read my tashoud and duroud. When i have finished, i put my finger down but the Imam hasn't said salam.

My question is if a person has read his tashoud and Duroud and the Imam hasn't said salam yet, can you put your finger down?

Because i heard the Imam's of the past have difference of opinion on this to keep the finger still after you have read or after you have read put it down.

Salam Ibrar

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

In regards to the finger, continue to keep it raised even when the Imam has not yet finished. As you wait for the Imam to finish you can recite other Duaa's asking for Allahs forgiveness or blessings until the Imam finishes.

But the finger should remain raised until the giving of salaams...

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
