Interlacing the fingers between Maghrib and 'Isha'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh's question: Is it permissible to interlace the fingers between the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, and before the adhan?
Answer:
Interlacing the fingers is not permissible during the prayer, nor is it permissible for one who is waiting for the prayer; this is not permissible. As for after the prayer, if a person is not waiting for the prayer—he has prayed and is done, and is not waiting for a second prayer—then it is permissible for him to interlace his fingers, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. So interlacing is only prohibited before the prayer, or during the prayer; but after it, without waiting for a second prayer, there is no harm in it. Yes.
