Where does the worshipper place his hands in prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Where does the worshipper place his hands in prayer?
A: In the standing position, he places them on his chest; this is the best, as the hadiths regarding this are authentic, both before and after the bowing. In the bowing position, he places them on his knees. In the prostration position, he places them on the ground opposite his shoulders or opposite his ears. In the sitting position between the two prostrations, he places them on his thighs or his knees, and likewise in the first and final tashahhud. However, in the tashahhud, he places his right palm on his right thigh, curls his little finger and ring finger, forms a circle with his thumb and middle finger, and points with his index finger until he says the closing salam, indicating the oneness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and he moves it during supplication. At times, he curls all the fingers—meaning the fingers of his right palm—and points with his index finger, because both descriptions are established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And success is from Allah.
