Ruling on mu'aanaqah
Question
I would like to please find out more on mu'aanaqah. Is it a sunnat? Will it be okay to conduct a lesson on it by including it under etiquettes? What is the method of performing it?
Answer
Yes, it is sunnat.
There is no specific method.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
