Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 831/831=M/1430)

The second way is preferable i.e. raise the fingers at la ilaha and put it down on illallah, it is supported by Hadith and traditions:

وفي المحيط أنها سنة يرفعها عند النفي ويضعها عند الإثبات وهو قول أبي حنيفة ومحمد وكثرت به الآثار والأخبار فالعمل به أولى ا ه فهو صريح في أن المفتى به هو الإشارة بالمسبحة مع عقد الأصابع على الكيفية المذكورة لا مع بسطها (شامي 2:217)
