Where should the hands be placed in salaat? Can you give me proof from hadith that says what we should do?
Answer
According to the Hanafi Madhab, in the standing position of Salaat, the right hand should be placed upon the left hand and it should be kept below the navel.
Hadhrat Ali (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that it is from the practice of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) that during Salaat, he used to place the right hand over the left and kept it beneath the navel. (Abu Dawud vol.1 pg.110)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
