Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some of the brothers among the worshippers perform tawruk in the sitting for the final tashahhud, even if the row and the space are narrow, so they make it difficult for those next to them. His question is: Is it better to leave out the tawruk in this situation?
Answer:
Yes, leaving out harm is better. If the space is narrow and the tawruk makes it difficult for the worshippers, it is a sunnah (recommended practice), not obligatory. So do not make it difficult for the worshippers for the sake of attaining a sunnah. Yes. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Be lenient with your brothers. Yes.
