Movements in Salah

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Tafseer Raheemi

Regarding Q429, I’ve come to learn that if both the hands where to be used to use tissue when one has a cold/flu, the salah would break due to unnecessary movements… how about if one has to fix/tighten her Dopatta (scarf) using both hands while in salah? This happens at times due to little children snatching it.


Answer: Good question, Jazakallah.

Since covering the satar is more important than the movements, there will be some leniency in this. However one should minimise the movements during salah. Don’t wear A small scarf, wear something large which does not come off easily.

At least one should not make so much movement that an onlooker goes into doubt whether the person is in salah or out of it.
