The answer

It is prescribed for every worshiper to point with their index finger throughout the , whether they are an Imam, praying alone, or a follower. If they are a follower, they should not stop pointing until the Imam says the in the final Tashahhud, or stands up for the third rak'ah in the first Tashahhud. If the Imam prolongs the first Tashahhud, it is prescribed for the follower to invoke blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they may recite the complete Ibrahimiya supplication, or any other supplication they wish, because silence is not prescribed in prayer.
