What is the ruling on tying one's hands behind one's back while walking, and is there any Shar'i evidence prohibiting it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is nothing in the that prohibits this, although some common people may consider it a fault. If a person abstains from it in environments where it is frowned upon, there is no harm in that. As for a legal prohibition, we know of nothing that indicates it, and the default is that this is among the ordinary matters that are permissible to do.
