Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: We know that standing, when one is able, is a pillar of the obligatory prayer. However, we find that some of the worshippers, if something falls from them while they are standing, they go down to pick it up, and their posture becomes like that of the one bowing. Is this prayer valid?
Answer:
If he fears that the item will be lost if he leaves it, there is no harm in him picking it up and returning to standing. But if he does not fear for it, he should remain standing, because there is no need to bend down to pick up what has fallen. Yes.
