Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I am confused by the statement of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) in his description of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer, where he said, "Then he places his right hand on the back of his left hand, above the wrist or the forearm," and nothing has been authenticated from him regarding their position.
Answer:
Regarding their position. Yes. What is their position? Yes, he places his right hand on his left hand, on the elbow or the wrist, and clasps them on his chest. This is the Sunnah.
