Is there evidence for pointing with the finger during the tashahhud after completing the wudu'?

The questioner : Is there evidence for pointing with the finger during the tashahhud after completing the wudu', with mention of the possible sources?

The Shaykh : The answer is that there is no sunnah (recommended practice) or hadith (report of the Prophet's words or deeds) that has come regarding raising the finger specifically in the tashahhud after the wudu'. However, there are authentic hadiths that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man making the tashahhud and he had raised his two fingers, so he said to him (peace be upon him): .
This hadith does not state that he saw him doing that in the tashahhud after the wudu'. If this had been explicitly stated, it would have become a sunnah (recommended practice) like raising the finger in the prayer. But if this hadith does not provide us with the sunnah (recommended practice) of the tashahhud after the wudu', it gives us at least that it is permissible for a Muslim, if he makes the tashahhud occasionally outside of prayer, to raise his finger. Because the hadith came in an absolute form, you leave it in its absolute form; you do not qualify it, you do not restrict it, and you do not place it in a specific location for you. Because this is legislation, and legislation belongs only to Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He).
