Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Noble Shaykh, what is the ruling on cracking one's fingers after prayer?
The Shaykh : Cracking one's fingers after prayer is permissible. Once the prayer has ended, any action that is not part of the prayer remains as it is, based on the original ruling. For this reason, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed one of the two evening prayers and concluded it with two rak'ahs, he interlaced his fingers, even though interlacing fingers during prayer or while waiting for prayer is not recommended; rather, it is disliked. Yes.
