[quote]Does it really matter whether I put my hands above or below the navel?!!! What manner of a question is this. It reminds me of the paragraph in Sura Baqarah. Allah asked the nation of Musa to slaughter a heifer. The people asked Musa to ask Allah what kind of heifer. Then Allah replied that it is neither too old nor too young. Still not satisfied, they asked for its color. Then Allah replied that it is a bright yellow pleasing color. Still not happy, they asked for more information. Then Allah replied that it is a heifer not used to till the fields, nor is it used to water the soil. The same way we keep asking silly questions. Allah asked us to offer salat. But we keep asking, should the hand go above the navel or below, should we raise our hands for takbeer, should we dance our index finger when saying attahya, and the list of questions goes on. Allah commanded us to offer salat, if the method was so important, He would have clarified it. Obviously it is not important, and we should do what we are asked to do instead of acting like the nation of Musa.[/quote]
