The wisdom behind not interlacing the fingers when going out to prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the wisdom behind not interlacing the fingers when going out to prayer, and during the Friday sermon?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it, saying, "Let him not interlace his fingers." The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the wisdom in his statement, "For he is in prayer." Just as it is disliked for the one praying to interlace his hands, meaning this is a form of fidgeting in prayer, so it is the same for the one who has come to prayer or is sitting waiting for it.
