Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to continue moving the index finger in the tashahhud until the end of the prayer?
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement. Continuing to move it is not a confirmed Sunnah, but the most likely view, and Allah knows best, is that he moves it when the Name of Allah is mentioned: he raises it and moves it when the Name of Allah is mentioned. Some scholars say he raises it but does not move it, while others say he raises it and moves it. The matter is easy in this regard. Yes.
