Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: How do you reconcile the fact that it is a sunnah (recommended practice) to place the hands below the navel with the hadith reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
In the two authentic collections, fromفي الصحيحين من
the prohibition of the Messenger
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade keeping one's hands on one's waist while prayingصلى الله عليه وسلم ان يصلي الرجل مختصرا
Bulugh al-Maram 2:105
and brevity, he says placing the hands.

Answer:
Brevity, what is it? I did not understand that it is the navel; no, brevity is placing one's hand on his waist, on his side, on his side; this is brevity. As for clasping the hands, the right hand over the left below the navel, this is not brevity. Yes, meaning it is not at the location of the waist; brevity is placing the hand on the waist. Yes.
