Question:
May Allah reward you with good. If you prostrate and intend to stand up, do you stand up on your hands, or do you place your hands on your knees? Please clarify the correct method for me. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This varies depending on the person. For one who has strength, it is recommended to rely on his knees when standing up and rise on the balls of his feet. As for one who cannot do so due to illness, old age, or an injury he has suffered, there is no harm in relying on the ground, placing his hands on the ground to stand up; because this is easier for him. Yes.
