Is the saying of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy on him: "The description of the tasleem by beginning the salam towards the Qiblah and then turning at the words: ‘wa rahmatullah’ has no share of consideration and no evidence for it, and the salam is directed to those on both sides of him, so the correct [way] is that he turns from the beginning of the salam," correct?
