The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people cite this verse[Al-Jinn 72:18] as evidence for the prohibition of bending. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
What kind of bending?
The questioner:
Bending like ruku', yes? He says like ruku'.
The Shaykh:
Based on the interpretation of "mosques" as the limbs, the limbs of prostration. Because there is an interpretation that the intended meaning of "mosques" is not the mosques that are the places of prayer, but rather the limbs. The limbs upon which a person prostrates; I was commanded to prostrate on seven bones. From this, a person does not bend for a created being. This is ruku', and ruku' for a created being is not permissible. Yes.
