Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Asalaamu alaykum, a question: When an imam is to be corrected in Tarawih and he corrects himself then gestures with to those behind him can that be classed as excessive movement in salah?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Hanafi Fiqh, if the gesture is small and not distracting, the prayer will not be invalidated.[1]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore this would not be regarded as excessive movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
