The Ruling on One Who Cannot Prostrate with His Forehead and Nose
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Some of the people praying do not allow the forehead and the nose, or one of them, to prostrate. Is their prayer valid?
Answer:
It is necessary to prostrate on the forehead, because it is one of the seven limbs upon which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded prostration. The nose follows the forehead, so if he does not place his forehead, his prayer is not valid, because a limb is missing. As for the nose, it follows the forehead, so if he raises it, it is contrary to what is best, and if he places it on the ground, that is the most complete and best.
