Bending in prayer due to an itch

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling if a person is praying while standing and then bends over while praying because of an itch in his leg? Does his prayer become invalid because of that bending?

Answer:
No, if the bending is for a need, there is no harm. He picks up something, something that is causing him pain, and he wants to remove the pain. There is no harm. This is for a need. Yes.
