The index finger
Question
Why is the index finger called 'shahadat ki ungli'?
Answer
It is called 'shahadat ki ungli' because in tashahhud one raises it at the time of reciting the Shahaadatain.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
