Is interlacing the fingers between the adhan and the iqamah prohibited?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is interlacing the fingers between the adhan and the iqamah prohibited, or has the prohibition been abrogated?

Answer:
The one who walks to the prayer or sits waiting for the prayer is not permitted to interlace his fingers, due to the prohibition of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding that. As for after the completion of the prayer, there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) interlaced his fingers after the prayer. So when the prayer is finished, there is no harm. But walking to the prayer or sitting to wait for the iqamah of the prayer, one does not interlace his fingers in that, because the prohibition has come regarding that. Yes.
