Do I need to keep my hands at my ears when making niyyat for Salat?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Salaam I want to know when reading namaz and doing the niyaat do I have to keep my hands by my ears as I am confused by many different people I want to know if I am reading my namaz correct?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

 

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

 

Niyyat is to make intention which is from the heart.

 

When making niyyat the hands do not have to be raised to the ears. The hands should be on the sides when making niyyat.[1]

 

 

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
