He said that the worshipper has the choice to leave the hands by the side of the body or to place the right hand over the left one … Ibn Hamdaan said in his book Ar-Ri‘aayah that the difference of opinion concerning this is similar to that concerning the position of the hands after Takbeerat Al-Ihraam. “ He (Imaam Ahmad) did not mention any judgment on where the hands should be placed after rising from the Rukoo‘. The difference of opinion relates to where the joined hands should be placed – whether they should be placed above or below the navel or whether the worshipper has the choice to do either. In the Sunnah, the right hand should be placed over the left one. “ Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal held that the worshipper has the choice to release the hands to the side of the body or to place the right hand over the left (after rising from the Rukoo‘).” Īs for the view held by early Hanbalis, Burhaan Ad-Deen ibn Muflih said in his book An-Nukat ʻala Al-Muharrar that Ibn Hamdaan, the author of Ar-Ri‘aayah, said that the difference of opinion concerning this is similar to that concerning the placement of the hands after Takbeerat Al-Ihraam (the opening Takbeer). This is the madhhab of al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on him), as it. It is true as you mentioned that the Hanbalis maintained that the worshipper has the choice to place the hands either above or below the navel after Rukoo‘ (bowing), Al-Mardaawi said: The most correct view is that his leading the prayers is valid because of the general meaning of the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): The people should be led in prayer by the one who has most knowledge of the Book of Allaah. Another report suggests that the hands should be placed above the navel and a third suggests that the worshipper has the choice to place the hands either above or below the navel.” “ The hands should be placed below the navel as it was related about ʻAli that the Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, is to place one hand over the other in the prayer below the navel. Another view reported about Imaam Ahmad is that the hands should be placed above the navel and below the chest a third view reported from him says that the worshipper has the choice to place the hands either above or below the navel. Abu Daawood wrote, “ I heard him (Imaam Ahmad) say that placing the hands on the chest is disliked.” Īccording to Imaam Ahmad, the right hand is to be placed on the left below the navel, as is the standard view of the School. You should know first that Imaam Ahmad's position was that it is disliked to place the hands on the chest. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallAllaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger. ![]() ![]() All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds.
