Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is moving the finger during the tashahhud in prayer a recommended practice (sunnah), or is it limited to pointing without movement?
Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement on this, and the matter is easy. Whether you move it or do not move it, the matter is easy; it does not require a dispute or misguidance. The matter is easy in this: move it or do not move it. Even if you do not raise your finger at all, your prayer is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
