Raising the Index Finger in the Tashahhud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is another question. He says: I see many students of knowledge continuing to raise the index finger in the final tashahhud until the taslim of the prayer. Is this action correct, or is the index finger raised only during the two testimonies? And what should be done if one sees that?
Answer:
The fingers are not all raised; rather, the index finger is raised during the first and final tashahhud and during supplication. As for all the fingers, the little finger and the ring finger are clenched, the middle finger is curled with the thumb, and the index finger is raised.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
