Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We say: If a person is on the way to the mosque and has not yet entered it, is it permissible for him to crack his knuckles and interlace his fingers?
Answer:
No. Once he goes to the mosque, he is in prayer, provided he goes with the intention of praying. Therefore, he is in prayer, so he should not interlace his fingers or crack his knuckles, because he is in prayer. Yes, that means he has the reward of the one who is praying. Yes.
