The ruling on interlacing the fingers after the time for prayer has entered
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the time for prayer has entered, is it permissible for a person to interlace his fingers or not?
The Shaykh:
If there is a hadith
The questioner:
If the time for prayer has entered, is it permissible for a person to interlace his fingers, even if he is in his house?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in it, but when one turns toward the prayer, if he is walking to the prayer, or sitting in the mosque waiting, he should not interlace his fingers, because in his coming to the prayer he is in prayer, and if he sits waiting for it, he is in prayer, so he should not interlace his fingers. As for the one sitting in his house, he is not in prayer, nor is he a shaytan.
