Placing the right hand over the left after rising from bowing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And he places his right hand over his left forearm on his chest, just as he did before bowing. The evidence for this is what al-Bukhari narrated from Sahl ibn Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 740 The indication from the hadith is that he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 740 This includes the entire prayer, except for what the Sunnah indicates as an exception. So let us look now: Bowing is an exception, why? Because the hands are on the knees. Prostration is an exception, the hands are on the ground. Sitting is an exception, because the hands are on the thighs. What remains is the standing before bowing and the standing after it, which falls under the general rule.
