Question:
This questioner says: Sometimes on certain travel routes, I find people praying, but they let their hands hang down, meaning they do not place them on the chest. Is it permissible for me to pray behind them?
Answer:
Yes, yes. Placing the hands below the chest or below the navel is a recommended practice (sunnah), and if one lets them hang down, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Our Shaykh, we also have a call from our brother Shar' from Riyadh. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
