Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, this listener is Muhammad from Egypt. He says: Is the index finger raised in the tashahhud only at the two testimonies, or throughout the entire second tashahhud? He has another question.
Answer:
Yes, when the Name of Allah is mentioned, he points with his index finger, indicating tawhid (the oneness of Allah). He raises it, indicating tawhid, when the Name of Allah passes.
