How to Make at-Tayammum - Interlacing Fingers in at-Tayammum (Part 28)

One should make sure that he inter-laces his fingers (التخليل). 

Al-Uthaymeen explains that the Madhab states that this Waajib but in Wudhoo it is Mustahab, because interlacing the fingers is on the only way in which a person can be certain that earth has gone into all parts of his hands.

Uthaymeen states that interlacing has no evidence. He argues:

-Takhleel (interlacing fingers) in Wudhoo is established in the Hadeeth of Laqeet bin Sabarah, “Perform Wudhoo well, interlace your fingers and be excessive in washing your noses.” [Aboo Dawood (142), Nasai (87), at-Tirmidhee (788)]

However, there is no Qiyaas between this and making Tahkleel in Wudhoo.   
    
-There is no evidence to making Takhleel in at-Tayammum.

-The point of at-Tayammum is to bring ease, and the point of making Wudhoo is to wash properly.


-The Tayammum doesn’t involve wiping over the inner part of the hands rather the outer parts, so there is no point on making Takhleel. 

[ash-Sharh al-Mumti' 1/411-412]

And Allaah Knows best.
