Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that the index finger is raised during supplication. Does the Muslim raise it between the two prostrations?
The Shaykh:
No, there is no evidence for that. It is raised in the first and last tashahhud; that is what is established. As for between the two prostrations, is there any evidence for that? Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Some people have come up with a new opinion, saying that it is raised between the two prostrations.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
