The ruling on cracking one's fingers and interlacing them in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And from the two. So praise be to Allah. Some of what He named is forbidden because it is disliked by Allah or in the prayer, for what is forbidden in the prayer is from the category of its children
Answer:
The forbidden does not reach the level of prohibition, but it is disliked because it is fidgeting that indicates laziness. Also, no one cracks his fingers except a lazy person or a person who is heedless of the prayer. So it is fidgeting and it is disliked in the prayer, like interlacing the fingers. There is a prohibition against interlacing the fingers in the prayer or before the prayer for the one who is waiting for the prayer, because this is from the category of fidgeting and it indicates laziness as well. Yes.
