Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In our country, it is said that not folding the hands is the school of Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) while standing. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
It is attributed to Malik, but if letting the hands hang down is authentically reported from Imam Malik, it was due to a condition he suffered from (may Allah be pleased with him). So he is excused for this, if this is authentically reported from him. Yes.
