Regarding moving the finger or pointing with it without moving in tashahhud
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Regarding moving the index finger (of the right hand) in the tashahhud position; Should it be moving or is it sufficient to just point without moving?

Response: Both of them are from the Sunnah of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), whilst it is better to move (it).
