The ruling on letting the hands hang down while standing in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: I observe that people, when performing the prayer, are divided into two groups regarding placing the hand on the chest or letting it hang down. Which is more correct? And which did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) do?
Answer: The Sunnah is to clasp the hands, and this is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did, which is placing the right hand over the left hand on the chest. This is the Sunnah: he places his right palm over his left palm on his chest in prayer. This is the Sunnah. As for letting the hands hang down, it is contrary to the Sunnah. We ask Allah for guidance for everyone. Yes.
The presenter: Amen. May Allah reward you with good.
