Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When the one who has performed wudu says, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," does he raise his index finger, and does he face the qiblah?
Answer:
What has been transmitted is that he faces the qiblah and raises his gaze to the sky; this is what has been transmitted. Raising his gaze to the sky is a sign of the Highness of Allah. As for raising his finger, I do not know of this.
