Question
While the Iqaamat is being recited, some people stand proudly with folded arms. Is this arrogant stance permissible while the Iqaamat is being recited?
Answer
The type of folded arms (arms folded in front of the chest) is the effect of shaitaani takabbur. It is haraam to adopt this arrogant stance during the duration of the Iqaamat. Furthermore, it is not permissible to stand in this satanic and arrogant manner at any time, whether in or out of Salaat.
