Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it not said that, based on the collection of hadiths, the hands in prostration have two characteristics: that they be level with the shoulders, and that they be level with the ears, as in the hadith where he placed his forehead between his two hands? Is this said?

Answer:
If he places his hands level with his shoulders, then the tips of his fingers must be level with his ears. Yes.
