Placing the hands after bowing and following the imam in this
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), “The imam was made to be followed,” if the imam keeps his hands below his navel, and after bowing he places his hands on his chest, does he say: Should we follow him in this?
Answer:
It is all permissible, it is all permissible. If you place them below the navel, that is a recommended practice (sunnah); if you place them below the chest, that is a recommended practice (sunnah); or above the chest, it is all a recommended practice (sunnah), and praise be to Allah. The matter is broad in this, yes.
