How to descend into prostration using the hands or the knees

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Does descending into prostration in the prayer happen with the hands first, or with the knees?

Answer:
For the strong person, it is better to place the knees before the hands; this is for the strong person. As for the weak person, the elderly, and the sick, there is no harm in relying on his hands when prostrating before his knees.
