The ruling on extending the back beyond the usual in prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. The brother Abu Ali says: Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling on excessive extension during prostration? We see some people extending their backs, meaning they exaggerate in that?
Answer:
It is not permissible to make a show of effort in this, or to extend the back in prostration until it takes the place of two rows and harms the row in front of it and the row behind it. This is a type of making a show of effort for which Allah has not sent down any authority. Rather, one should prostrate like the Muslims beside him, with a prostration that involves no making a show of effort, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
