Rasing the index finger in Tashahhud
Question
My question is regarding the raising of the index finger and the motion of the right hand during salah.
Is the finger to be lowered at "wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan"
Is the right hand to be kept closed from the moment at which the index finger is raised, up until Durood Ibraheem (Alayhi-salaam) or right until tasleem?
Answer
No. At the time of illallah.
Till the end of salaam.
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.
