Until when the ring of the middle finger and thumb is kept in the tashahhud

Question

Question: the tahiyyat, which is called the tashahhud, is recited in every prayer. At the words [ar]أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ[/ar] “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah” a ring is made with the finger next to the index finger, and the index finger is raised. Should this ring be kept until the end of the prayer, or should the ring be opened at “illa Allah” after raising the finger? Please inform us in the light of the essence of prayer.

Answer

The ring should be kept until the end.
