Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for me to say, "The hearts of the people are between two fingers"
between two of the fingers of the Most Mercifulبين أصبعين من أصابع الرحمن
Sunan Ibn Majah 3834
while pointing with my hand? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
No, do not point with your hand. This was not reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he pointed with his hand when mentioning this hadith. So you do not do anything that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
