The ruling on placing the hands between the knees during bowing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Umm 'Abdullah from al-Qasim, by mail, says: Some people place their hands between their knees when bowing. Is this correct? Is this correct?

Answer:
This practice is prohibited. This was the case in the early days of Islam, but then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed that when a person bows, he should place his hands on his knees, with each hand on its corresponding knee, and spread his fingers. This is the sunnah (recommended practice). Yes.
