Summary
The fatwa favours the tawarruk sitting position for the final tashahhud in three and four rak'ah prayers. For two rak'ah prayers and the first tashahhud of three or four rak'ah prayers, the sitting is iftirash. If the row is cramped and tawarruk would narrow the space and disturb the neighbouring worshipper, one should sit iftirash in the final tashahhud. In the Shafi'i school any manner of sitting is valid, but tawarruk at the end of the prayer accords with the sunnah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Setelah kami menyebutkan beberapa pendapat di atas, kami cenderung kepada pandangan bahawa posisi duduk adalah secara tawarruk ketika tasyahhud akhir bagi solat tiga dan empat rakaat.
