Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some imams lengthen the prostration more than the bowing, and they single out the last prostration of their prayer with a distinct lengthening. Is this action prescribed?
Answer:
It has been mentioned to you that the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was balanced. It was balanced. If he lengthened the standing, he lengthened the bowing and prostration. If he shortened the standing, he shortened the bowing and prostration. The imam considers the conditions of the followers and shortens. He shortens the standing, the bowing, and the prostration, considering the conditions of the followers. The first two units are longer than the last two units, as has also been mentioned to us. Yes. The prayer is graduated, with the beginning being longer than the end. Yes.
