Summary
The imam performs remembrance (zikir) after prayer in line with the sunnah of the Prophet SAW. The zikir is done individually, and the imam is encouraged to follow the post-prayer zikir guide issued by the Perlis State Mufti Department. After seeking forgiveness three times and reciting اللهم أنت السلام, the imam turns to face the congregation, whether towards the right of the row, the left, or directly towards them. The imam keeps his voice low during zikir, except for teaching the congregation for a limited period only.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
