Raising the index finger when the imam recites verses that remind of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I see some of the worshippers in the obligatory prayers that when the imam recites verses that remind of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, he raises his index finger. He asks: Is this a prescribed matter?

Answer:
The matter is easy; there is nothing wrong with it. Yes, it is a sign of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Yes.
