Salaah of a person who does not have an index finger

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2017-09-26 15:51

Q: I don't have a right hand index finger the one we raise in Salaah. Does this mean anything in Islam?

A: This is not counted as a deficiency in the sight of Allah Ta`ala. Your acts of ibaadat and worship will be exactly like a normal person. It will not be any less in the sight of Allah Ta`ala on account of not having an index finger and not indicating with any finger.

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

فرع لا يشير بغير المسبحة حتى لو كانت مقطوعة أو عليلة لم يشر بغيرها من أصابع اليمنى ولا اليسرى كما في النووي على مسلم (حاشية الطحطاوي على مراقي الفلاح ص269)
