The ruling on raising the index finger when reciting al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some of the worshippers raise their index finger when the imam recites al-Fatihah. Is this correct?
Answer:
It has no basis. Raising the finger when reciting al-Fatihah has no basis. The finger is only raised during the tashahhud as a sign of the oneness of Allah. When one says, “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,” he raises his finger as a sign of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Yes.
