Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks about two terms. He says: sitting in the hawd position on Friday and sitting cross-legged.
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is forbidden to sit in the hawd position on Friday by raising the knees, especially if one is not wearing trousers, as the private parts may become exposed. So one should be careful of oneself in that regard. Yes.
The questioner:
What is the ruling on leaning on the hands from behind?
The Shaykh:
If one sits, it is disliked. This is a sitting that carries dislike. Yes.
