Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding the issue of moving the index finger in the final tashahhud? Does one move it with every mention of Allah, or only during the supplication, or does one simply raise it without moving it?
Answer:
Moving it or not moving it is all permissible, and praise be to Allah. Moving it is a recommended practice (sunnah) for those who hold this view, but it is done when the Name of Allah is mentioned. If the Name of Allah passes in the supplication or in the tashahhud, you move it as a sign of the oneness of Allah (tawhid). Yes.
