Fixing da foundation
Asalamualaikum brothers and sisters, I was wondering if this "point" from "A Excerpt Dealing with 40 Commmon Mistakes in Salaat" is true:
"(Also incorrect is the incorrect practice of holding
one’s hands upon or below the navel as there is no substantiated proof from the
authenticated sunnah for this practice – Ed)"
Because unfortunately ive been holding my hands below the navel for salaah my entire small life
its how i was taught (taught that women were to hold the hands upon the chest and for men below the navel) and now to hear that this is incorrect... does that mean so and so years of invalid salaah! i hope not .. looking forward to a reply
Walaikumasalam

27. Putting the right hand upon the left and raising them to the neck. This is in contradiction to
the sunnah because the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) used to put his right hand
over his left upon his chest. This is in a hadeeth of Hasan from several weak
transmissions in themselves but that in conjunction strengthen themselves. The sunnah is
also to place the hands on the middle of the chest or upon the heart because the heart is
in the chest as Allah ta’aala states: It is the hearts within the breasts that are blind.
Raising the hands (making takbeer) when going into sujood or when rising out of it. It is
an error to lift the hands to the neck and this opposes the sunnah. What is attributed to Ali
(radiallahu ‘anhu) in the explanation of the verse: So therefore pray to your Rabb and
sacrifice (wanhar – in which the verb is construed as referring to the neck [an-nahr] –Ed.)
is weak and does not constitute a proof. (Also incorrect is the incorrect practice of holding
one’s hands upon or below the navel as there is no substantiated proof from the
authenticated sunnah for this practice – Ed)
