Guide me regarding of making a ring of forefinger and thumb in an At-tahiyaat...is it compulsory....

Answer:

Fiqh-us-Sunnah [ 1.157 ] One should sit for the tashahud and place his hands in the following manner:

-1- Ibn 'Umar reported that when the Prophet sat for the tashahud, he would place his left hand on his left knee and his right hand upon his right knee, and he would form a ring like (fifty-three) and point with his index finger. In another narration it is reported, "He would close his hand and point with his index finger." SAHIH MUSLIM [Book 004, Number 1203]

Yahya related to me from Malik from Muslim ibn Abi Maryam that AIi ibn Abd ar-Rahman al-Muawi said, "Abdullah ibn Umar saw me playing with some small pebbles in the prayer. When I finished he forbade me, saying, 'Do as the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did.' I said, 'What did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, do?' He said, 'When he sat in the prayer, he placed his right hand on his right thigh and he closed his fist and pointed his index finger, and he placed his left hand on his left thigh. That is what he used to do.' " Malik muwatta[ Book 3 : Hadith 3.13.51 ]

-2- Wa'il ibn Hajr reported that the Prophet would place his left palm on his left thigh and knee. He would place the end of his right elbow upon his right thigh and would then close his right hand, forming a circle. In another narration it states, "He would make a circle with his middle finger and thumb and point with his index finger. Then he would raise his finger, and (Wa'il) saw him moving it to make supplications." (Related by Ahmad.)

-3- Reported az-Zubair, "When the Prophet sat for tashahud, he would place his right hand on his right thigh and his left hand on his left thigh. He would point with his middle finger, and would not look beyond his pointing." (Related by Ahmad, Muslim and anNasa'i.) This hadith shows that one is to place the right hand on the right thigh without closing the hand (making a fist), and that he is not to look beyond his pointing. The preceding three hadith are all authentic, and one may act by any of them.

Thus keeping the hand in these three ways is from Sunnah & a believer can follow any one, as they all belong to the Sunnah of our beloved prophet Mohammad (pbuh).

1. closing hand (I.e. making fist)& forming a ring

2. making a circle with middle finger and thumb(I.e. making ring by thumb & the finger next to index finger) and point with his index finger

3. Not making of a circle or a fist i.e. keeping hand in normal position. And Allah alone knows the best.
