Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If one points with his index finger during the tashahhud, does he move it?
Answer:
The matter is easy; he may move it or not move it. The matter is easy. You are fighting over it now regarding the finger. One says, "You do not move it," and another says, "You do not raise your finger," and another says, "Do not raise your finger." Raising the finger is not permissible; this is all idle talk. This is all not permissible. Arguing over this, raising the index finger is a sunnah (recommended practice), and moving it is a sunnah (recommended practice). It does not necessitate disagreement, fighting, or boycotting over it. Yes.
