I saw this picture on facebook, decided to share cuz ive seen many people make mistakes in this part of the salaah, we have to learn the correct way of praying, so the question is, which of these are correct for the first and second sittings respectively? I will give the correct answer (or say a particular answer given by a comment is correct) after 3 comments.

4 is good for sitting between two prostrations but 3 is the best and you can use it for all sittings.

I will wait for the answer.

This would be the third comment.....waiting for the answer.

The sittings that can be proven from the sunnah are the iftirash and tawarruq positions, now, for the first sitting, number 3 is the correct one and it is called iftirash, for the second sitting number 2 is the correct one and it is called tawarruq.

Here is a good webpage that explains salaah(with pictures);

WHEN TO RAISE HANDS DURING SALAAH



It is Sunnah to raise one’s hands in four places during the prayer:

When pronouncing Takbeer al-Ihraam (the first Takbeer), when bowing in Rukoo’, when rising from Rukoo’ and when standing up after the first Tashahhud. Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) started his prayer, he would say “Allaahu akbar” and raise his hands, when he bowed in rukoo’ he would raise his hands, when he said “Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah [Allaah hears those who praise Him]” he would raise his hands, and when he stood up after two Rak’ahs he would raise his hands. (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2/222; Abu Dawood, 1/197).

The meaning of “when he stood up after two Rak’ahs he would raise his hands” is, when he stood up after the first Tashahhud.

The hands may be raised to the level of the shoulders or the ears. See Al-‘Ayni fi’l-‘Umdah, 5/7; Sharh Muslim by al-Nawawi, 4/95; Sifat Salaat al-Nabi by al-Albaani, 87.

With that it should be noted that you dont raise your hand neither when going for sujood nor standing up from sujood, as this is a common mistake most people make.

WALLAHU ALAM
