The manner of placing the hands while standing in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Tell me about placing the hands while standing; where do I put them?
Answer:
The Sunnah is to place them on the chest, because it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of Wail, and in the hadith of Qabisa ibn al-Futayy from his father, that he used to place them on his chest, (peace and blessings be upon him). It is also established as a mursal report through Tawus ibn Kaysan, the great Tabi'i, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and this supports the marfu' report. Some scholars hold that they should be placed on the navel, and some hold that they should be placed below the navel.
The hadith regarding placing them below the navel is weak. The best, and the best, is above the chest; this is the best, because the hadiths on this matter are more authentic, and the hadiths on this matter are more authentic. The matter here is obligatory; it is all Sunnah. If he lets them hang down, his prayer is valid. If he lets them hang as some scholars said, his prayer is valid. But the Sunnah is to bring them together to his chest and not let them hang; this is the Sunnah. It is not befitting to engage in dispute, disagreement, argument, and division over this. Rather, it is befitting to be tolerant and make things easy in this matter. Because gathering and cooperating for good is a required matter.
The one who places them below the navel interpreted the statement of some scholars and some weak hadiths. Therefore, it is not befitting to be harsh or severe in this matter. Gentleness and wisdom are required in this, and advice without division, disagreement, or harshness. But the best for the believer is to seek what is most established and closest to the truth in matters of disagreement. Yes.
