DDHK.ORG - The practice of praying from the time of our ancestors to the present day generally uses the standard of prayer described by the Shafi'i school of thought. This is because the majority of the Indonesian population is generally the Shafi'i school of thought. The scholars who spread Islam in the archipelago, of course, were also scholars of the Shafi'i school of thought. So automatically the practice of prayer is based on the fiqh of the Shafi'i school of thought.
Through this series of articles, DDHK News describes the nature of the prayer of the Prophet Muhammad based on the Shafi'i school, as written by Muhammad Ajib, Lc., MA. in his book "Sahih Evidence of the Prophet's Prayer Ala Madzhab Syafi'iy".

Sitting tasyahud (tahiyat) is finally obligatory to do. As for the sitting position, it is sunnah to be in a state of Tawarruk.
Regardless of the number of rak'ahs of prayer (two, three, or four rakaat), the tasyahud sitting position is still tawaruk. Tawarruk is a position where the left foot goes under the right foot and the sole of the right foot stands straight.
In the matter of sitting on the final tasyahud, the Shafi'i school uses the authentic evidence narrated by Imam Ad-Daruqutni and Imam Al-Baihaqi, "From a friend of Ibn Mas'ud radhiyallahu 'anhu that before tasyahud is required we say "assalamu 'alallah and so on", then the Prophet said: say "At-tahiyyatu lillah." (Narrated by Abu Dawud & At-Tirmidhi)
Wajhul istidlalnya is in the sentence "Qabla An Yufrodho 'Alaina". This means that tasyahud was then required after the Prophet taught his reading. Well, just reading it is obligatory, then the sitting position is also obligatory. Wallahu a'lam.
