Do we increase the movement of the finger during the tashahhud in order to gain a great reward?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I mean, right now in the prayer, any movement, whether we raise our hands or lower them, or raise anything of these, is ten good deeds. But does this movement of the hands count, and do we increase the movement...?
The Shaykh : Is there a specific limit for increasing the movement now?
The questioner : Each one is ten good deeds.
The Shaykh : There is no specific limit... We say that each movement is one good deed or ten good deeds, but there is no fixed limit. We are only drawing attention to the fact that, by way of independent legal reasoning and not by explicit text, the movement should not be such that it conflicts with the command to be still in the prayer.
