Ending Prayer – Amali Tawatur
Thanks for sharing your view. However, based on Ghamidi sahib’s own definition, this understanding seems inconsistent with what he means by ijma and amali tawatur. According to him, amali tawatur is not derived from “reports” or “general practice”, but from the uninterrupted, universal practice of the Muslim ummah passed down generation after generation from the Prophet (saw). These are practices that were never adopted through ijtihad or narration, but through living communal continuity. So if an entire Muslim sect like the Jafari school does not practice turning the head at the end of salah, then that very continuity is missing. And when continuity is broken, by Ghamidi sahib’s definition, the act cannot be considered established by amali tawatur or ijma. Therefore, appealing to “reports” or “general practice” to justify it goes against the very methodology that Ghamidi sahib lays out in Meezan. Wsalam.
