The ruling on interlacing the fingers after prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a Muslim prays and then sits waiting for another prayer, is there any blame on him for interlacing his fingers, or is this specific to the time between the adhan and the iqamah?

Answer:
No, this is done by everyone who is waiting for the prayer. One does not interlace his fingers when he is about to pray, when he is on the road, or when he sits in the mosque waiting for the prayer to be prolonged. However, when the prayer is near and the waiting is over, he interlaces his fingers, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. Yes.
