The main differences in Prayer from other MadhabsThere are slight differences in the preferred methods of salaat, or prayer, in the Maliki school. - Al-Qayyam - The dominant, or mashhur position, is to leave the arms straight down at the sides of the body during prayer.
- Looking straight ahead at eye-level (i.e. literally "facing" the Ka'aba) during the standing and sitting parts of the prayer, rather than looking down towards the place of prostration (there is disagreement on this point, with many famous Maliki scholars holding that one should look at the place of prostration.
- Not reciting any supplications before the Fatihah in obligatory prayers.
- Tashahhud - Turning the right-handed fist is on its side (such that smallest finger is touching the thigh) and right index finger is rotated clockwise when reciting the Shahadah.
- Tasleem - Saying the ending tasleem only once while turning the head to the right.
- Qunut is to be recited only in the morning prayer.
