The ruling on interlacing the fingers while walking, sitting, and praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 386Hasan (Darussalam) Does this apply while on the way?
Answer:
Yes, interlacing the fingers is disliked if one is walking to prayer, and it is disliked if one is sitting waiting for prayer, and it is disliked if one is in prayer, in three places. As for after the prayer, there is no harm, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) interlaced his fingers after he had said the closing salam of the prayer. So interlacing is disliked in three places: while walking to the mosque, while sitting in the mosque waiting for the prayer, and during the prayer, because this involves imitating the devil, and it involves imitating those against whom the anger of Allah is directed. Yes.
He asks: What is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
then he leaves intending to go to the Masjid, then let him not intertwine his fingers, for indeed he is in Salat.
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَامِدًا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَلاَ يُشَبِّكَنَّ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي صَلاَةٍAnswer:
