Interlocking the Fingers of One Who Is Waiting for Prayer in the Mosque and of the One in I'tikaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person wants to sit in the mosque for more than one prayer, is it permissible for him to interlock his fingers?
The Shaykh:
No, as long as he is waiting for the prayer, he should not interlock his fingers, because he is in prayer.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you, is the one in i'tikaf like the one in prayer, such that he is prohibited from interlocking his fingers?
The Shaykh:
If he is waiting for the prayer, the one in i'tikaf is different from him. The one who is waiting for the prayer does not interlock his fingers, but if he is not waiting for a prayer, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
