Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. You are also asking about cupping the right hand while moving the index finger, or opening the palm while raising the index finger in the tashahhud? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is recommended (mustahabb) to place one’s hands on one’s thighs: the left hand on the left thigh with the fingers extended, and the right hand on the right thigh. One cups the little finger and the ring finger, and forms a circle with the middle finger and the thumb, while raising the index finger. This is the recommended manner of placing the hands in the tashahhud. It is recommended to raise the index finger as a sign of the oneness of Allah (tawhid). As for the little finger and the ring finger, one cups them, and forms a circle with the middle finger and the thumb, meaning one makes them into the shape of a ring. Yes.
