Question:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade placing the hands on the waist during prayer, so where is the waist? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The waist is the lower part of the side; that is the waist. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade placing the hands on the waist in prayer because it involves imitating the Jews. He may have referred here to imitating the disbelievers; this is the wisdom behind it, and Allah knows best.
