Procedure 1. (i.e. the hands are taken straight up to the earlobes then folded again) is the way it should be done.
Abu Usamah
Faraz notes: "Procedure 1" is what is mentioned by al-Shurunbulali in his Maraqiand by Ibn Abidin.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Knowledge is only through study." While some knowledge can be gained from reading or casually listening to lectures, the best means to gain knowledge is through finding a qualified teacher and then setting up a systematic program of learning. Picking up a book or reading an article and trying to figure things out on our own is no substitute for learning from someone who has a direct link to our living tradition.
