Descending to pick up something that fell during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I was praying when something of mine fell to the ground, so I descended and picked it up, then returned to standing. Is my prayer valid, or was it invalidated by descending?

Answer:
If what fell from you is something you fear will be lost or taken, there is no harm. But if there is no fear regarding it, no, do not descend to pick it up while you are praying.
