The most authentic and established practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a person intends to prostrate
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 16863 )
Q 1: What is the most authentic and established practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a person intends to prostrate, does he place his right hand first , citing the statement of A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked to prefer the right side in all his affairs? And as we know, it is placing the hands or the knees first. Please inform us, may Allah reward you?
A 1: Citing the mentioned hadith to prove this manner is not appropriate, and we do not know of anyone who stated its prescription; it is an innovation in the issue, as acts of worship are based on specific authorization. Since a text has come regarding it that clarifies its manner, one should not pay attention to innovating another opinion based on a general evidence. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
