What is the ruling on placing the hands on the hips?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Why does he place his hands on his hips? Even though he is commanded to place his hands [on his stomach].
Answer : This is prohibited. This is not prescribed, so much so that one should not even ask about its cause. This is prohibited. Yes, what? Where? Outside of prayer, it appears that it is not disliked, except if it resembles the cross. In that case, it might be said to be disliked, though it is a heavy matter for me because it requires an explicit prohibition.
