The ruling on moving the index finger during the tashahhud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the index finger moved during the tashahhud, or is it not moved at all?
Answer:
By Allah, the scholars differ on this. What you have heard is that it is not moved; rather, one points with it without moving it. This is like pointing with it without moving it. Some scholars say it is moved during the supplication; it is moved during the supplication. Some say it is moved constantly in every tashahhud. But in reality, the sound position is the middle one: moving it during the supplication. This middle position, during the tashahhud, during the supplication, is the middle one. Yes.
