Salaah

Moving the index finger in tashahhud

Q:

1. I have observed some Muslims during Salaah at the time of atahiyyaath they shake the index finger till Salaam. Did the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) do the same?

2. Whenever the Muazzin recites ash Adu Anna muhammadur rasoolullah some people touch the eyes and then touch the lips thrice. Did the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) do the same?

Istikhaarah

Q: Do Muftis pray Istikharah prayer for fatwas that might lead to schism in Islam or cause hatred to other Muslim sects? Because we are ordered to stay united.
