The ruling on a man interlacing his fingers with another man’s fingers in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a prohibition against a man interlacing his fingers with another man’s fingers in the mosque?
Answer:
What is possible is that he does not interlace his fingers with another man’s fingers, but he holds another man’s hand; there is nothing wrong with that. Holding is not interlacing; it does not mean you interlace your fingers with his fingers. Yes.
