The ruling on interlacing the fingers during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that interlacing the fingers is disliked. So what is the answer regarding the interlacing of the fingers of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when he forgot two units of the prayer?
Answer:
The way to reconcile these two is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer; he was not waiting for the prayer and was not in the state of prayer, so he interlaced his fingers because the prohibition was lifted. He does not interlace his fingers if he is sitting waiting for the prayer or if he is in the prayer itself. Yes.
