Moving the index finger in tashahhud

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q:

1. I have observed some Muslims during Salaah at the time of atahiyyaath they shake the index finger till Salaam. Did the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) do the same?

2. Whenever the Muazzin recites ash Adu Anna muhammadur rasoolullah some people touch the eyes and then touch the lips thrice. Did the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) do the same?

Bismillaah

A:

1. This is permissible in the Maaliki mazhab. You should not pay attention to how they are doing and why they are doing it because this beyond the level of your understanding.

2. This is not a sunnat practice.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
