Does one place the hands or the knees first in prostration?

Question:
May Allah keep you safe. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in prostration? Does one place the hands before the knees, or the other way around?

Answer:
When he lowers himself from standing, the first things to touch the ground are his knees, then his hands, if he is able to do so. However, if he is ill or advanced in age and needs to place his hands first, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
