Does moving the index finger in a circular motion during the tashahhud indicate a defective belief?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is said that whoever moves his index finger in a circular motion in all directions while sitting for the first or last tashahhud, this indicates a defective belief, such that he believes that Allah is everywhere. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
I do not know; I have not heard this statement. However, the index finger is moved during supplication and when the Name of Allah is mentioned; this is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for moving it in all directions, that depends on the intention of the one who does it; Allah knows best, we do not know. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. And he raises it as a sign to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), rather he raises it as a sign to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), singling out Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) for worship. Yes.
