How to Straighten the Rows in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fourth question of the fatwa number ( 17998 )
Q4: Is it required that when the worshippers align their heels, their knees also be aligned in the sitting between the two prostrations?
A4 : The established legal principle in the Sunnah is to straighten the rows before entering the prayer by aligning the shoulders and heels and standing close together in the row. As for the knees, they are not required to be aligned; because people differ in this according to their height and stature. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
