Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May you be of benefit to us, Honorable Shaykh. Also, this one is asking, saying: I pray in my home, so what is better for me: lengthening the recitation and standing, or lengthening the prostration and bowing?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray with moderation. If he lengthened the standing, he lengthened the bowing and lengthened the prostration. If he shortened the standing, he shortened the bowing and shortened the prostration. So his prayer (peace and blessings be upon him) was balanced. Yes. And if a person prays alone, he lengthens as much as he wishes. Yes. But if he prays as an imam for people, he considers their conditions and lightens the prayer for them. Yes.
