Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one's nose does not touch the ground during prostration, is his prostration valid?
Answer:
If his forehead touches the ground, the obligatory part is fulfilled. The nose not touching is a deficiency; this is a defect in the prayer, but the forehead is what counts. One who is unable to prostrate with his forehead is not required to place the other limbs on the ground. The forehead is essential, and the other limbs follow it. Yes.
