What is the manner of moving the finger during the tashahhud?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How is the manner of moving the finger in the first and last tashahhud? Is it moving or stationary?

Answer:
What is established is that he raises his index finger during the tashahhud as a sign of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), a sign of the singularity of Allah. He also raises his finger when making du'a' (supplication); when he supplicates, he raises his finger. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, without moving it. Yes.
