Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no specific posture for placing the hands before entering into prayer. One may place their hands wherever they wish. The discussions among jurists regarding hand posture pertain to the state of entering prayer or during it. There is a prohibition against interlocking fingers before, during, and after prayer.
