Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the stronger position regarding placing the hands before the knees when lowering oneself for prostration?

Answer:
The stronger position is that it is contrary to the Sunnah for one who is able. As for the one who needs to place his hands before his knees, there is no harm for the one who needs it. As for the energetic and strong person, it is contrary to the Sunnah.
