Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling on prostrating on some of a person's body parts?
Answer:
This is not permissible, and the prostration is not valid if one prostrates on some of the seven body parts, because prostration is performed on seven body parts. It is necessary that they be on the place of prayer. It is necessary that the parts be in direct contact with the place of prayer: the forehead, followed by the nose, the two hands, the two knees, and the toes. All of them must be in direct contact with the place of prayer. Yes.
