When is tawruk performed in the prayer?

The questioner : Is tawruk in the prayer not in every tashahhud that is followed by a salam, as Imam al-Shafi'i said, and in one of the opinions from Ahmad, even if it is in two rak'ahs? And if it is not prescribed except in the four-rak'ah prayer, acting on the hadith of Abu Humayd, then why not analogize tawruk in the two rak'ahs and the single rak'ah to the clasping of the hands after rising from ruku'? What is your opinion in that? May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The brother questioner asks about the ruling on tawruk: is it in every tashahhud that is followed by a salam? Or is it in the second tashahhud of every prayer that has two tashahhuds? The correct view is that it is in the second tashahhud in every prayer that has two tashahhuds, in the second tashahhud that is followed by the salam. This is the correct view by which the evidence agrees, and it is also the requirement of wisdom, because it was established in the second tashahhud to be a distinction between it and the first tashahhud. Unlike the prayer that has only one tashahhud, where there is no need for tawruk that achieves the distinction between the first and second tashahhud. Accordingly, the Fajr prayer has no tawruk, and the voluntary prayers have no tawruk, because they are two rak'ahs, two rak'ahs.
As for the questioner's statement, "Why not analogize it to the clasping of the hands before ruku' and after ruku'?" I do not know what this phrase means or the aspect of analogy this questioner intends. However, I address the issue of placing the right hand over the left hand after rising from ruku'. I say: Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) chose between the two, saying: "When one rises from ruku', if he wishes, he clasps, meaning he places the right hand over the left, and if he wishes, he lets them hang." But the requirement of the hadith of Sahl ibn Sa'd, which is established in *Sahih al-Bukhari*, is that the Sunnah is to place the right hand over the left after ruku'. This is because he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: And this implies that the standing after ruku' is included in that, because his statement: includes the entire prayer. But we exclude from it ruku' because the hands are placed on the knees, and sujud because the hands are on the ground, and sitting because the hands are on the thighs. So what remains is the standing before ruku' and the standing after it, which is included in this hadith. Therefore, the correct view is that when one rises from ruku', he places his right hand over his left, just as he places them so before ruku'.
